Thanks brother 👍. And so does that Silver Back. Pull the trigger man. I have no regrets and I know you won’t either.

You only live once and you can't take it with you.

The motor is awesome, torque is nice and flat from 2300 RPM to red line. Its in the mid 120's to the rear tire stock, Front suspension is very good, front brakes are great. Rear suspension is slightly improved. I really like the new body work, fairing, tank, did covers and bags. The IFCU (Infotainment Control Unit) is great. It has a few bugs, but it will be corrected with software updates.

I have just over 5250 miles on mine.

look around, this bike is at least $2k cheaper elsewhere. It’s hard to fight the bug when it gets you, lol! Personally, I would wait till at least Jan when they release 2024 models. You’ll still have plenty of these on the market.

that's my current predominant thought process ... with the rainy and less riding and Holidays season approaching, no real urgency or FOMO and so close to the new MY introductions ... I did love the 121 engine power and it's not going away anytime soon
