It's also an absolute blast in the twisties. Downsides are that thieves love them almost as much as owners, and they're a bit thirsty compared to a gen 1. Maybe 38mpg rather than 45 and the light will come on at about 120 miles if in London traffic. The underseat pipes reduce the amount of stuff you can get under the seat and if you want panniers they'll need to be hard ones. But they're good in traffic and a lot of fun.
I've only had 3 proper rides on mine so far, but enough to realise that a Striple would be wasted on commuting and motorways. It's the most fun toy I've played with in years...ooh-er missus!
