Yeah, so far it's a great bike. This is after a couple weeks of commuting...it definitely has a buzz that sets in around (I think) 5000rpms or so, around when you switch gears anyway so not too bothersome. The steering is "heavier" than the EX500 was, don't know if this is from the bike itself being heavier, steering geometry, or what. It could also be the tires, they were inflated to 32/32 when I picked it up and the manual says you want them at 36/42.
Coming from the EX500 this bike is wickedly fast, with no effort at all. Yet, it is also very well behaved, not twitchy at all. And, thankfully, it is rock solid in the horrendous wind of the Bay Area where the little Ninja was all over the road.
And while I still like the look of it's big brother more, this bike is pretty sharp looking. Can't wait to take it on a longer ride...next weekend Doc Wongs riding clinic!!!
Cheers
