I recently just purchased this bike and I am more then impressed. I previously owned a 2005 600 from a different manufacturer and loved it, but I have to tell you, not as much as I love this.
I just went riding for around 5.5 hours and it�s very comfortable. The bike is very light and easy to maneuver. When you want the bike to get up and go, it doesn�t hesitate to perform.
The only thing I have a bit of an issue with is the engine noise at around 6k rpm. It is a little annoying, not sure if it�s because it�s a brand new motor or not but I never remember my old bike sounding that way. Time will tell I suppose.
I bought this in white/white and absolutely love it. I got two thumbs-up today from a Corvette driver and a brand new STi owner. I highly recommend this bike for first buyers or old riders.
