A few more points I forgot to mention.
With it being a naked bike there was a lot of wind hitting my knees, far more than my fazer or F800 come to think of it.
It has an idiots kill switch (sprung loaded)
The mirrors are crystal clear and vibe free, such is the smoothness of the engine.
The digi-display does not reflect hi-viz back at you so you can actually see the neutral and indicator warning lights (Gen 1 trait and hi-viz wearing bod that I am ).
It has the lowest dipstick in the world, and the worst seat lock position ever ( it's under a cap beneath the rear mudguard).
I had no shoulder/arm/wrist ache after a constant 2 hours of riding ( I said it fitted me well in the showroom seat test).
Yamaha have followed BMW and Triumph and made everything an extra, where I would expect it to be standard fitment (flyscreen, radiator side covers for example).
There is space under the seat on the non-ABS bikes just behind the tank where the unit would have gone that could be useful storage.
The standard Dunlop tyres would never be my 1st choice of rubber but they didn't step out of line at all on the muddy lanes I was on.
No vibrations through the pegs or bars at any rpm wearing the same gloves as I always wear (this has got to be a miracle
)
I could have ridden it all day given a larger bladder (CMC's cafe has big cups and should not be taken lightly)
It sounds like I've talked myself into getting one, as I liked so much of the ride today, (the Mrs is OK with it too as long as my Fazer gets sold first) if you order one now you might get it for January
seems everyone wants one too !
