I have ridden a lot of twins & 4s in my lifetime, but I must say for a medium capacity bike, this does everything I want it to do & more. I haven't ridden another bike that is so easy to control at low speed, but, when you hit the loud switch, it takes off like a thing possessed, so you can have fun at some silly speeds. It handles fairly well and the power delivery can be very smooth. You also don't feel as though you are thrashing it neither (not like a 4 where you are up & down the box to get the best from it). I have to say that I have only owned mine for 3 weeks, but I have done nearly 1000 miles in that time & I smile every time I get on it. It makes the ride to work a joy & not a chore. Add to that a race can & they just sound fkin ace
