It has enough electronic controls to rock you in the cradle of nanny safety. I over paid for this bike just to have a bike right now to the extent that I wouldn't have bought the Competition version without these unique circumstances. I wasn't completely satisfied with my '16 SXR because of the over intrusive electronics so as soon as they announced this MXR I got on the list because it has two generations of updated electronics which shouldn't neuter the bike in specific scenarios. A few weeks after that I cleaned my bike up ready to sell and put it up for consignment at the dealership which was in July. I didn't ride last summer at all past mid July. There is a white MXR with the same motor, same electronics and forged wheels without all the carbon fiber, which would have been perfect but no one knows when they will be available. That bike would have saved $5,500 in M.S.R.P. over the one I bought just because I wanted a bike now to overcompensate for the lack of riding last year. I'm coming up on a return to work date in June from a five month leave of absence so I'm trying to get as much riding in as I can by then.

How generous but didn't you see? I just bought a new bike and am currently poor!

Wow! Just WOW!!! I'm really glad I'm old enough to know that I don't need anything like this beast in my garage...or in my life...which would be very short from time of acquisition to ugly, terrifying death.

According to my one-track lizard brain the curves are the only sights worth seeing 😀

@Tpoppa I was just telling some people yesterday that I rode past the Big Muskie Bucket for ten years before I knew it was there. The curves in front of it demanded concentration so I didn't have time for sight seeing. We were on a ride one time and you were having some hand issues that wouldn't let you ride for as long as we usually did so we stopped there. Now it's always the first solo ride of every season for me to shake the cobwebs out. I'm thankful for that experience.

Nice ride man, really like it.

First ride was to the bucket for break-in miles. Ended up on a gravel road trying to make my own detour around the water across 83 south of Coshocton.

Correct. Finished up the breakin miles today and dropped it off to have the revlimiter removed and first service done.

I really wish I knew someone looking for that bike, they are awesome. The only way it could be more awesomer is if it had four cylinders and 400 CC
