But I wouldn't call it a tourer and ideally I think it is good for day trips.....like 200 mile blasts with a big grin but after that you're starting to get painful.
The snatchy throttle isnt half as bad as its been made out if you can ride you will quickly learn to ride around /with it .
well both mine the 06 and 09 dont snatch at all granted the 06 has a fce but the 09 has nowt
perhaps we should put our back wheels in the air and bike in top gear and measure the "free turn movement" rock wheel back to where it stops and mark it , then move it forward until it stops,measure,,,it will account for some of the snatch, without checking i guess its about 3" ,, well may be,,get checking.......
