after 7k is where all the fun starts imho

again imho

Feel: the 1125 felt taller then the RC, the seat was alot taller, i could easily sit flat footed in the honda with my legs out to the side not straight down, with the 1125 my feet where straight down and just barely reached, im 6 foot even, so im not short... lol
I felt the controls were semi aggressive, not as much as the honda but thats a good thing makes for easier cruising but still had the feel to get into it when the curves came around

speaking of when the curves came around, the thing falls.. eh more flicks over like my old 636 only better, the suspension was set really soft from the factory so until the thing would be set for a fatass like me you cant really comment on how it handles

but you do notice the steep rake, you feel a direct connection with the front tire that was completly different then the honda or kawi that I had ridden prior.

power: the break in was well a short jump on the interstate and quick row through the gears and let them bring the bike down, pure motoman style

the engine has two split almost personalities, you could "lug" it around say 4k-7k and use the torque to get the job done, or wring its neck and place the needle well on the other side of 8-10k and have more overrev then the RC it seemed like, almost I4 like if you will, thing pulled like a tractor

It does have vibes when you do that, and dont be shocked by it, its just letting you know it has character lol

fit and finish was nice, i just hate the stock exhaust, and were it upto me i would put a blue HMF on the black bike with a blue speed screen, then again thats just me, fuck payin 500+ for a dman slip on lol
