What's worse is when ya first ride it, your tryin to be so careful ya can't seem to balance yourself right, dragging your feet from the stop light, jerky slow speed turns, not sure if your in 6th gear, gotta look at the control buttons on the handle bars to find the right one. It's almost miserable.
