Things I noticed on my short drive home
-The headlights in the evening are night and day difference compared to previous model. I would outrun my headlights at 100km/hr on the highway at night, these I can tell will be amazing on the highway at night.
-The seat is wayyyyyyyyyyyy better. I'm 6" foot and I found that when i'd lay flat against the tank i'd hit the back seat and feel squished. The new one I can lay flat and not have my butt hit the back seat. In fact I can really stretch my body out. With that said it is even higher than the previous model. I use to have my feet flat with some bend in my legs. Now I can barely get my heals down.
-QS will be amazing (just used it in my parkade a few times but I can tell it will be great)
-Fully adjustable suspension (looking forward to setting up for my weight etc)
-The traction control is nice. Did one good first gear pull with the TCS set to "1" which is the least amount of TCS you can have without it being completely off and it held the front wheel down nicely. This was a big one for me. In first i'd have to cradle the throttle a bit to prevent the lift on the previous model so it is nice to just give it wot and have the bike stay down but go as fast as it can. Not that wheelies aren't fun but you get the idea.
I haven't had the chance to really give the bike a good ride but first impressions are all positive improvements. To sum it up, all the reviews are pretty accurate. All the new tech is welcomed, no negatives and of course the new styling is sexy.
