Weather here has been absolute sh**t since I picked the bike up. Managed to get in a 2 hr ride yesterday. Really happy with the overall package so far. The Honda is not all that different from the 05 B12 that I had.
I would have to say that the Honda is certainly a lot smoother in its power delivery and has a very workable mid range. No problems with the fuel injection, some reports suggested they were a little rough in the lower rev range but I have not found this to date. Drive train snatch is also barely noticeable.
I have noted that the front end does not track as it should. The right hand grip is a little colser than the left. Spoke to dealer and will drop bike in next week so that they can set it up again. Minor prob.
I was a little worried about going back to a twin shock model but my concerns were unfounded. The honda has showa gas assisted shocks and has very adjustable pre-load and dampening. Have not looked at set up yet due to time involved but will look at firming up rear end as it is just a little lazy on the factory settings.
So far fuel consumption seems ok. 10 litre for 130kms. Cost me $19.80 for the ten litre though. Mileage should improve as bike runs in things are pretty tight at the moment.
Sleeping better now but having dreams of far off places.
