Again I want to first talk about the fact that because this bike far surpasses the CARB 2004 emissions standards you can't notice any exhaust fumes when you are at a stop light or in stop and go traffic. The turning braking and acceleration are perfect for me but my previous two bikes were cruisers. I was a bit concerned when I first took it on the highway because I started to feel a little vibration, but above seventy mph the vibration goes away like magic. It's like the engine is just getting started. At the 7000 rpm break in limit you are going about 85 mph so the break in won't feel like a chore. It was about 45 degrees today but I put on my down coat, and my new winter gloves and went for it. The bike just won't let you stop riding it. I feel safer on this bike than my previous cruisers because of the better maneuverability on streets and highways. Drive safely and slow down on those turns.
