I really hated the last facelift, this one reins in the ugliness somewhat. I HATE!!! that pictured dashboard layout, but it sounds like you might have choices there so maybe it doesn't have to look that stupid

what's interesting is, as electric options become more prevalent will they take advantage of the design options open to them and go outside the box. if they do, will people buy it if it doesn't look like a 'typical' motorcycle?

yeah, some of it's design is not advertised but widely known - this bike literally built to make wheelies - at the beginning I couldn't figure out the front suspension quirky base setup - why there's such a crazy progressive rate spring and preload and stuff.... but as soon as you get that front wheel in the air - it all make sense.... and electronic settings for the "lift control" are just PERFECT! I owned this bike for 2 years now and I think I am only half way being able to realize this bike can do
We should swap bikes 1 day to see what you think of my Monster.Apart from the SDR, this is probably the most fun bike i've ever ridden
Haha ... it's actually surprisingly quick but it's all relative. "Fun" is the trait being compared though."slow"
"character""slow"
