Steve Butters Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Overall impression so far.... It's really comfortable, handles well, feels nice and nimble.... My only complaint is its not got a ton of power... But that's probably not a horrible thing since I won't be using it as a drag bike lol... And the throttle delivery pre-vtec is kind of choppy.... I think a power commander and a magical tune by dyno Brian would really wake this thing up... Maybe at tax time I can go ahead and get that done It's no gen 2 fz1 like I wanted, but I'm very happy with the purchase and wouldn't hesitate to do it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 You'll get used to the choppy ness. I HATED it at first to the pointi barely even rode it. But once it became my only bike I got used to it quick. Highly suggest a custom tune to smooth this out. One of these days I swear I'll get it turned but just rocking a VFR discussion favorite tune currentlyIt does feel slow acceleration wise but honestly it's not so bad, the low end torque makes up for it to me. Plus once you learn to ride it like its meant, you won't need straight line speed to see plenty of people on 1k's in your mirror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Congrats! Yeah, power delivery feels kinda goofy around 4,500 rpm. Like Bad said, ya kind of get used to it. You'll learn to deal with the VTEC too. I've had it kick in while passing someone on a two laner and damn near lifted the front wheel at 90. That may be the worst part of an otherwise fine package.

Steve Butters Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 the vtec doesnt bother me.....my vmax had a similar feel and its the only other bike i ever put miles on, so i dont know anything different lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
