Hoblick Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 got delivered today at noon, on time like they said.pic of them unloading the bike.here she is in her new home.. im in love with the pearl paint on this thing.i had bought a MIVV mid pipe for it from Dubguy's dad, great price and in great shape.got that installed before i even took it for a ridecomparo of the MIVV mid pipe and stock mid pipe with KATexhaust beforehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfeepsSXspoexhaust after MIVV midpipehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWa1gh4Y5yYThis bike is purely amazing.. more power than you could wish for on a touring bike. just pure power all the way through the RPM range. in sport mode the throttle response is unreal! the bike is amazingly light, over the top nimble, and very confidence inspiring. i hit the traction control a few times which is a different feeling, but a nice feature. this thing will carry the front wheel if you roll on 2nd gear, scary power!in touring mode the power delivery is very smooth, and perfect for when i have the wife on the back. jsut makes the ride more suitable and not so twitchy.i dont think i have smiled so much on a first ride. i just couldnt help it, i was grinning ear to ear. laughing histarically inside my helmet.im dying to get this down in the twisties in south east OH.i know i cant really give a full spectrum review cause there isnt alot of good roads to hit in town lol.. but round and round the round-abouts was making me giggle.i only rode it a little but this thing is just AMAZING!

Hoblick Posted February 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Wow!!!Is this the over-the-top electronically adjusted everything model?Probably better you named her Gabriella than Carmella...no not the S modelthis is a standard model with ABS and Traction controlthe S and touring models have the Ohlins TTX elctronic adjustable suspensionmine still has the adjustable, ABS, DTC, and power modesi jsut didnt feel comfortable with electronic suspension in the long run, hasnt been out that long on the multi, and if it goes bad im sure its SUPER expensive to fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Checking... I think it has 520 watts max alternator output.That should handle running two sets of heated gear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyJ Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 not sure, should probably get a couple gallons to start That's what Kilz is for...Good point about the $$ factor on the electronics & repairs, especially if they source things from Bosch.
