I test rode one last year at Moto Rapido but the sales man had no interest in selling me one. May book a test ride at Snells.
Any comments!

Faults-not really-fuelling is a little bit fluffy(at about 3000rpm) on some-but there is a new map coming soon, rear brake is a bit of a pig to bleed-but goes soft if you don't bleed it. My battery went flat in the very cold weather-twice-but it started fine yesterday after a charge. Some people have reported the ABS as being a bit 'keen' but I haven't had a problem with mine-switch it off for track riding but otherwise it works well-again I believe the reflash that is coming will update the ABS mapping as well. Mine was the first Uk customer bike but others have done more miles-brilliant piece of kit-best road bike I have ever owned.
