Ill keep my eye on this thread me thinks.
& ill leave my judgement of the gen2 until i ride it.
Everything ive heard thus far says that the gen 2 is the better handling.
Then a day after i do a deal on one everyone is popping out to say maybe not so.
I dunno what to believe anymore....but i wont kid myself either after a spin.
Wont be the worst test I've ever tasked myself with.
I don't think anyone here has said that the gen 1 handles better than the 2. The question seems to be more one of riding position. I knocked up a knee pretty much in a smash - my right one doesn't bend so far without a deal of discomfort, otherwise, I'm sure I'd enjoy the 2 as much as the 1 - except maybe for the touring stuff. Stop worrying Noggy, you'll be fine with itÂ
