Nicer than the pics mate, really like that. When are you planning to do Switzerland. I might be renting something whilst I'm out there 31st July to 14th August...

As most have said, a bit unexpected. But it looks cool and should be great fun to ride, and comfortable

Someone I know locally has a girlfriend who owns one, so I borrowed it for half a day. It handles like a sports bike with a very upright feel, punchy engine in the midrange and enough top speed to get you into trouble. The brakes are adequate (I think they are the same calipers as SV ones) but what really I liked is the practicality of it, which is why I bought one.

OMG I did not expect that. Same as my husband's, he loves it.

Sweet machine, I do like them. A lad at one of our other branches bought one for his missus, but she never gets a sniff at it because he likes riding it so much. Nice choice mucker

Very nice!

Are you swapping the bars for black ones??
