    A chilly 100 mile ride home from Waterbury all loaded up with bags and a seat and slip-on loaded up was interesting but on Sunday off came the bags and out for a proper rip, errr I mean ride. First impressions : She's got decent power and makes nice noises even out of the stock exhaust. Seating postion mostly comfy, Corbin is well broken in however the semi clip-ons are gonna take gettin used to. Maybe risers are in my future. Suspension is an issue and I think will be my first fix. All in all she's what I expected and can't wait to get up north and run thru the notches!

    Aside from R/R issues, I think most will agree the biggest shortcoming on these bikes is the inadequate suspension. Especially for us "bigger" guys tipping the scales well over 200#. Good luck and enjoy!
