[QUOTE="nikhuzlan, post: 424813, member: 19744"] Great bike with a very willing smooth parallel twin. Good power that is not intimidating for beginner riders. Very easy to go fast on. Takes very little time to get used to. Neutral steering characteristics but a little light at high speeds, definitely needs the steering damper. Great bike for sub 150kmh cornering. Ok for sweepers. I could not exceed 170km/h as I had the camera on top of my helmet so I don't know how it feels above that speed. Sufficient brakes but could do with better feel. The bike also feels a little cramped and I think riders above 5'10" will not be comfortable on long trips. Perhaps a change of handlebars will give better riding position but that is only my opinion. Cross winds does not blow it around much. A small windscreen would give the rider better comfort for high speed cruising. Definitely worth the money given the brand name, features like ABS, and also the brand name of BMW. [/QUOTE]
