I seriously considered one o these as part of my everlasting bike thread.
What put me off one was the 2nd hand ones i seen didn't appear to wear their miles well.......seen an Aprillia 1200 Dorsoduro at Fort William yesterday & it looked well smart.....i like them but again i dont think they could see much rain & i always end up being caught in the rain.
I like the Gen2......it is seriously quick.......but on the twisty stuff imo it isnt any better than a 600 fazer as ive just learnt the last couple days following my dad on his bog standard FZ6......it's the extra weight that is its achilles heel.
Something light with good ground clearance is the way forward i reckon.....& i dont care what anyone says i may seriously consider an MT07 & a nitron shock next year.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
