It's a bike you sit "in" rather than on...the top of the tank "mushrooms" out a bit, making the bike look wider than it is from the riders perch....BUT, that tank allows you to hang off with complete comfort and confidence allowing for lotsa grip and security when bending it through a turn...and the suspension is plush but precise....probably the most comfy sportbike I've ridden...but I've only been able to put a couple hundred miles on it with the lousy weather. More shall be revealed this spring.....
