Like I said there are definitely some Pros to this bike but it just seems to be lacking something! Could be SOUL???? The torque is there the braking is there, seems to handle OK for where I rode it but it was mostly straight aways. Exhaust note could definitely be a little louder. I guess with a little personalization it would be a nice bike, and definitely a better long haul bike. I wouldn't rule it out but I wouldn't run out and buy one either without riding some other bikes.
