Interestingly, I thought the bars were to narrow.

Only problem I see with them is the small tank.

Road surface is the best it's ever been. Was a bit of traffic by the time we got there 11AM, but trip back was sweet.

Would've thought it was the fuel consumption that was the problem, not the tank size lol.

Yeah, 240km range according to my mate who let me ride his.

Seems a bit low. That's barely over 10k per litre.

Hell I've managed 359km out of the 1290. Palmy-Lake Ferry and home again, though it was a very quiet ride.

I can attest. Needs higher wider bars, and I'd like the quickshifter pulse a little shorter when giving it a thrashing. But it's pretty hard to fault the bike out of the box.
