Too early to tell, but much more responsive to steering input, I think handling will be superior. Can't comment about engine yet, but very free reving
Brakes a- bloody - mazing, had to use them in anger within 10 miles of leaving the showroom.
Pictue this..... I'm going along a wide clear road with 50 mph limit, the road is wide you know the sort where there is room for easy overtakes even if oncomming trafic. 2 or 3 cars have passed me, and I'm naturally just taking it easy getting to know the bike. In the distance is a red bike, going quite slow, and positioned to the left. I check mirrors (useless) so check behind, signal and move to the right to overtakehim, as I get to about 20 feet from the clown he signals right, and immediately swerves across right infront of me
WTF I know nothing is approaching me from behind so brake swerve, and narrowly miss him. I checked behind and he is completing a full U turn. To$$er ( BTW he was riding a Suzuki GSF something, the really ugly one.)
So very impressed with the responsive handling and brakes, have really not yet had time to have a real play yet.
I found OYB really very good, in both deal and customer service terms. They have a nice selection of new and used bikes, mine is a 04 which had been gathering dust in the warehouse, hence a good deal was available. Dont know if I will take the bike there for servicing as it's not the nearest dealer to me.
Cheers
