Picked it up from the dealer where they were holding it until the weather cooperated. Put the first 18 km on the highway, and am blown away by the performance. Coming from a KLR, this bike is a dream. The roads are still a little too bad to risk the new bike on, so I'm going to ride the KLR for the next week or so. We're still waiting for the 20cm of snow to finish melting off the verges in a lot of places and that new tire wax is a little too iffy to be testing on these surfaces. Regardless, I love it and will ride the hell out of it in a couple weeks.
