I test rode one yesterday and it was...a severe disappointment. The suspension felt like it was made of rocks and way too much vibration for a bike like this. Especially with a 6-speed and freakin 9500 redline. I understand it’s supposed to be a sport-bike wannabe cruiser but...no. I’ve ridden sportbikes. Sportbikes don’t feel this awful. I’ve ridden cruisers. Cruisers don’t feel this awful too. WTF. I was expecting basically a mini, cheaper Indian Scout and what I got was the most awful thing I’ve ever ridden. Was I just not riding it correctly or what?
Also out of my peripheral vision looking forward I can see the headlight cover. Now obviously this isn’t a problem, it’s kind of an expected thing. Except it is a problem here simply because it reminds you how the headlight cover looks freakin’ dumb from the rider’s angle.

Is that a water cooled parallel twin? In a cruiser?

That’s too bad, I actually was kind of excited about this one when it came out. At least it’s not the same old 800lb V-twin cruiser clone.
Was the handling bad? I know the Japanese makes tend put the cheapest suspension bits on that money can buy, but usually the chassis is pretty good. I’m sure the ride quality was poor but how was steering response, ground clearance, etc?

This will be the bike for me when it comes time. Triumph tiger 800 XRx.
800cc triple, 95hp, 420lbs, 29” seat height!!! (this last bit is very important) I’m 5’4” with a 26” inseam. Finding a bike I’m comfortable on is quite the challenge. I sat on one of these and I was “YES!!! THIS IS THE ONE!!! FINALLY!!! A BIKE MADE FOR ME!!!”
