Just sell it and get back on your Goldwing. Or moped. Same difference.

Welcome to the forum.

Too bad you apparently made such a big mistake. But, in all the previous threads on the '17s, I don't t call anyone making no those complaints. Though lesson about adequate research and test driving.

I've said this many times, in many threads, most dealers offer rentals of current model bikes. It's a much better way to experience a bike than a test ride.
