Saw and sat on one of these today.
No test riding.

Felt okay. Honestly? I wasn't as impressed as I thought I should have been.
My big takeaway? Can't really mount highway pegs off the exhaust pipes.....
So, sport bike with small saddlebags.

Like the engine but that's about it. Not very keen on that fairing, looks outdated. The bags are just Givi's, not very integrated. No sound system or any electronic gizmos most modern sport touring bikes have, like riding modes and traction control, or even cruise. Overpriced as well. If they can make it priced more inline with competition, redesign the fairing and get more dealers than maybe it will continue. As is, I don't see them suriving for very long (unless they can survive selling 30 of them a year).

Why would anybody buy this instead of F6B, Kawasaki Concours, Yamaha FJR1300, a few BMW's or Honda CTX1300. But, I wish them well as it is American made.

I wouldn't mind riding with somebody on that bike = just imagine all of the attention my bike would get.
