I am interested in the weight and handling. I see they left room (designed need for additional items) for customizing. I am paying attention to this one! If it handles as well as ours (one could only hope) it could be a hit! To me, a bit easier on the eyes than the R3 and if it handles as well as that bike...
Seat looks like it will give a little lumbar supports with the pillion snugged up to it. I know this is a functional and effective approach to this problem as seen in after market seats like Mustang. Maybe a little comfort right off the bat? I want to straddle one and reserve final opinion till then.
