Great bike for 2-up riding, and still sporty enough to be still be fun to ride for a large bike!
But the EFI fueling glitch off idle is brutal, and the transmission is out of a gravel truck! In this day and age and for the price, no excuse for it!
Otherwise, a fun bike to ride for something this large. If it had the finesse of my VFR, it would be a perfect large 2 up bike! It doesn't.
Had similar issues with the FI lag on my '06, which was largely solved by adding a G2 throttle cam. Since then, no worries at all.
Per the handling, it took me awhile to get the suspension dialed in, but once it was, it is truly a rocket ship... or maybe a fighter jet. Just know that it is great in the twisties, even for such a large bike.
