First impressions:

• I found out it has a Lust Racing 25mm lowering kit so it is not too bad to mount and get a foot down when stopping. Will see how I go and decide whether I leave them on
• Comfy seat, I like the riding position a lot
• Great weather protection, rode through a bit of rain and didn't really get wet
• Feels lighter than it is, until you stop that is - feels like my old KLR
• Cockpit is good, instruments easy to read and right there in front of you
• Fuel gauge is inaccurate? Showed one bar remaining but I only got 14 litres into it??
• With a full tank I didn't really notice the extra weight
• The throttle is twitchy, annoys me a lot
• 1st gear too high? Gearing good otherwise, lopes along nicely
• Weird buffeting on my helmet. I have an AGV and people say the visor vibrates which I hadn't noticed on previous bikes, but holy crap now I do. Don't know what to do about that one - makes 100km/h speeds and greater really uncomfortable

Last but not least, I've had three thumpers now - KLR, BMW G650GS and this one and this one is BY FAR THE WORST for vibration. It's terrible. I am concerned enough about it to ask you guys is this normal? It's bad from around 3k RPM, then again about 5k RPM. I might check with a dealer to see if there is anything I can do. It does have Barkbusters so I'm wondering if the lighter weights don't help.

Anyhow, I like the good things about it and if the vibiness can be improved I could see myself touring on this for hours at a time.

Cheers
