Some extra notes Don't be fooled maybe a 3 cylinder but it sounds like a four cylinder with a sports system this bike is stock at the moment,

HANDLING It handles great with or with out pillions the only modification I have made is tighten the suspension. The rear tyre was replaced at 8,000 kms with some tread still remaing it's not hard on tyres wich is surprising with the power it puts out unlike the japenes bikes the power is smooth. On long trips there is no problem doing 600 kms in 1 day it is comfortable to ride they have got the mix right you can ride hard lay over the fuel tank a little more or cruise long distance enjoy the ride. This bike is known as my mistress My wife and mistress can live together in harmony.
