I spent an hour or so aboard.
Pros: FI is spot on, very narrow, well balanced, clutch pull is light..almost hydro feel to it. Suspension doesn't squat under power.
Cons: Odd vibration at upper RPM's, pegs feel too far back, clutch cover sticks out too far, I had a hard time finding the brake pedal, takes a while to build power, not very snappy. Once you get in the power, it starts vibrating like a coin-op bed in a cheap motel. Have to pull the swingarm to change the counter shaft sprocket. Only time will tell if the engine case will hold up without a frame cradle.
Engine built in Korea, not at the German plant, time will tell if it will be reliable. ...(hence, the longish warranty?)
Not bad for their first attempt...needs refining for me to buy one. 3 year/36'000 mile warranty will not win me over.
It just didn't feel comfortable to me, I can hop on a Japanese or Austrian steed and feel right at home... the Beemer just felt all wrong...couldn't wait to get off the thing.
