I couldn't believe the noise from the standard pipes and how much more comfortable it felt over the 1100.......for me being 6'4"

Can't wait ........ wonder how long it will be before the current Mrs Tricolore discovers the family addition in the garage ?
No modifications, recalls, adjustments or tweaks so far...it is running as smooth as any Japanese bike I've owned.

Never had any difficulty starting it, although I have noticed that it can take a second or two longer if you turn the throttle when hitting the start button.

The manual says the bike should start without having to turn the throttle, so this is what I do, and it hasn't skipped a beat! :-D
