I liked it as good as any honda I've owned as far as fit & finish,very fast great sounding with aftermarket exhaust.Good handling,I put woodcraft riser clip on's to make it more civilzed as far as riding position.It was a very nice bike

Traded in on a triumph street triple couldn't be happier

Thanks. I really hope it doesn't take much to make one handle nicely for a 190lb or so rider. I especially wonder about the transitions from side to side.
