Well even though I've only done 30 odd miles so far and still not had the full throttle experience yet, so I cant fully compare it against the Gen1, but what I can say is it is a bit underpowered in its stock format against the full monty with 15 tooth front sprocket. However I do have plans to address this with a PC5, change the gearing, modify the air box & piper cross air filter and remapped ECU etc.
The SX handling is way better and has better technology with ABS, power modes, traction control and slipper clutch.
But if you're judging a bike on straight line 0-150 the Gen1 will have the edge, but even with a Nitron rear shock and racetech internals the stock SX will have the edge in the real world street riding as it feels more planted, more stable in the corners (even with new tyres)....so all in all I'm very happy to have this in my garage alongside the Gen1.
I will give another review once it's fully run in and modified accordingly
