I got to ride it today and everything I read about it is exactly true. It is smooth, very comfortable and I like it. It will make a fine replacement for my FJR. Windshield had buffeting, but Wasp fixed that issue for us. I may changed the handlebars to KTM's with rox risers since that is the bend I am used to. Touring mode is smooth in traffic, sport mode is more responsive. In tc1 it would not wheelie up under throttle, but accelerated nice. I am very pleased with this purchase, but plan to keep my 950sm for houliganism.
