Interesting how even the suspension 'breaks in'...1000 kms later, same roads, same bumps, and it feels plusher somehow


Also interesting switching back and forth between them, standalone the honda brakes feel good, but back to back you definitely notice the ktm stops on a dime, and the AT needs more braking distance. Maybe its the brembo's or the lack of 200 lbs(!) (or both)

Have to remind yourself before you go charging into corners

My wife kept a grease pencil on her when she rode, she would scribble the next fill mileage onto the glass of her speedometer.

No odometer??

I don't think so -- it was an S40 Suzuki.

I too, recently joined the ranks of OJ and Africa.

The Duc was just TOO unbearable to ride as a daily in regards to engine heat. I would have to start lane splitting everywhere or speed around just to keep it usable. Not willing to become that person, I need my license for all 3 jobs i do.

Spoke to Apex in Cambridge and we came to an agreement.

to join the AT gang.

When you put the suspension in soft mode and the potholes become a joke, when you do a 14 hour ride and are completely fresh at the end of it, when you have the DCT and stop and go traffic becomes irrelevant, when the heated grips that come stock keep you warm in november, when you can do 500km on a tank of regular gas:

That's only for the true ballers of GTAM. Not the fake it crew.

Haven't even touched the suspension settings, already at almost 800kms of highway slabbing and city roads. It's just fine
