The bike performed flawlessly. It in fact, exceeded my expectations. Our only complaint was the wind noise. Since we have bluetooth communication the wind noise from the stock windshield was a bit too noisy for us. I'll be ordering a larger windsheild asap. I had a California Scientific on my Concours & really like it but am soliciting recommendations.
The power delivery was great. My wife was afraid after coming off of a Concours 14 ( & a FJR1300 before that) we'd be lacking power. She's not worried about that now. We ran along around 85 mph most of the way & still had plenty of power to pass around slow traffic hanginfgin the left lane.
We averaged 40.3 MPG even at those speeds. I was surprised how many people either waved or gave us a thumbs up as they passed or we passed them.
We are very pleased with the bike. After owning a R1150GS, I was sure my next bike would be a R1200GS. I'm a Yamaha man at heart so I'm glad I choose the piano company bike.
We've owned the bike 24 hours & it has 469 miles on it already...that's a good start!
