I've seen the MCN online review, and the Visordown & Bikeworld video reviews.

They all rate the bike highly and all said the low and mid-range grunt of the engine and instant throttle response (in A mode) was the best feature, and that it was better than the Hornet in this respect; the Hornet is more top-endy.

Only Visordown mentioned some vibes up at higher rpm, but the reviewer said they were "a motorcycle at work under me" feeling rather than the rattle-your-fillings-out type.

I like the look of it and might see if my local Suzi dealer is doing test rides. I won't be spending £8K anytime soon, however.
