Ya....Well....she's home!My God...this bike is almost indescribable.I couldn't go too fast....didn't want any things going wrong.Kept her between 4K and a few small bursts to 6k.Ktrc set to '1'.Power...'full'.I didn't try....but,this thing is gonna wheely all over the place if ya choose to go that route.I tried to get a feel for the thrust....hard to do in that rpm/gear range.WAY stronger than the earlier birds.WAY.No vibes.NONE.Engine idle...smooth.Engine sounds?purring,whistling at certain rpms ).No surprises engine wise.Or any other way...yet.Seat...VERY NICE....as good as the Connie easily.Take offs and mild accelerations....smooth and strong.I can live right now with the fairing damage...it isn't as terrible looking as it was at the shop...but they're gonna get my new fairings this next few days.Have a pic up on Facebook from my Dealer's site.I didn't see it,yet.No pics just yet...still trying to process this whole deal...it finally getting here and actually riding her.Brakes feel great...better than the other.This thing has so much power in it....you can just feel it wanting to lift(and it will if you blip it for sure) in second and running quick up to 4k,or 6k.
The first gear 'clunk' is 'almost' non-existent.The shift quality RIGHT NOW is superb.Extremely smooth and...well,smooth.Much nicer than the earlier ones.I'm thinkin when she's all the way settled in...she's gonna be a friggin rocketship out there.Man....this baby's NICE.The clutch works better than the older ones.Shifting is very precise and snickety.I'm very happy.You guys really need to go ride one if possible.You WILL be amazed at the rideability and strength in this new bike.It's really beyond the earlier models in every way.Just great!Can't hardly wait to get her out and spend some break-in time with er.Gonna be REALLY sweet after that.
I'll post up some pics here in a bit...this is just overwhelming.Really...this bike IS badazz.
Poor lighting for some reason.But...you get the idea!More to follow later.Thank God I can FINALLY get some sleep!!!!!
a little better.Color there is very accurate.She's a beaut alright.
