Well I have 100 miles on my new bike. Runs well, obviously does not have the low end torque my 700 did but does get and move. Like the new plastic, fit and finish better than my 04 had. No clunking driveline lash like the twins had. Fuel mileage looks to be very good and starts very quickly. Handling seems to be much more precise than my 700 but then my 700 had 5000 miles on it!! At this point no regrets , avery nice bike.

So far about 22mpg but thats been purty easy riding. I feel you need 4-500 miles on before the bike is broken in properly.

Why is it that the twins have the driveline noise and the singles dont?
