so as per the Canadian model features page. Got to dealer today around 1130. Bike was on the showroom floor waiting for me.
Nice looking bike. I am mostly happy i got it. The one thing missing that it was supposed to have i guess i can get over it. What is that you say?
the Showa dual bending forks. Not there. I did consider telling dealer to cancel the whole deal. But other than that i do love the bike. And not having
the Showa, not even sure if i would notice or miss it. I do not ride sporty at all. I am the king of chicken strips. I guess i could later on upgrade the suspension
if i wanted to and probably would be something better than the stock showa.
the ride comfort seemed very good. Nice having more room to stretch out compared to the Fz07. The bike does have traction control and LED front / back lights.
Only put around 50km on it. I like to get off the roads by 1500 as rush hour traffic sux big time around here. Going to be a great weekend weather wise so will go on
longer ride on Saturday and Sunday
as for the seat. it is nicely textured and slopes back. I will find out tomorrow how comfy it is long distance. Oh and it came with Bridgestone BT502 tires. Took it easy on corners but the
Bridgestones seemed to be nice and grippy.
