I had one of these for the afternoon whilst the GS was in for service, it was awesome but turns you into an instant hooligan, it just demands to be ridden hard. The engine is a peach and sounds great even on the standard can, amazing brakes and handling and riding position is comfortable too. On the down side I found the suspension too firm regardless of setting, wind protection was not great and I was getting arse ache after an hour. Overall I really enjoyed the experience, but as the cliche goes and has been said before, I really would live in fear of losing my licence if I had one, its just too easy to go too fast, but a brilliant bike none the less and I was still grinning for an hour after I got off it.
