I was able to get in 337 miles today. The day started at 22° and sunny. I rode the Delaware river down to Philadelphia cross to the Jersey side road through South Jersey to Atlantic City. Spent the afternoon at Atlantic City and jumped on the parkway And did super slabs all the way home. So I was able to get in some single lane roads along with highways.
Wow, I really like this bike. It’s my first large bike like this and to say I’m impressed with the power would be an understatement. Also, the handling was terrific. Given the size of the bike and the weight. It really is surprising. One thing I didn’t notice is that suspension is not exactly smooth ! I also thought that the motor could be a little crisper when you get on it. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the heated Corbin seat. I’ve never had anything like that. The lights are pretty good at night much better than this Suzuki 800 DE adventure bike that I bought.. Those lights flat out suck so I added driving lights, but I don’t see me needing to do that right away with this bike. I also heard some rattling, but I believe it’s coming from one of the bags so I will take one off at a time and test them.. I’ll probably take the bike out tomorrow because I have to wash all the salt off of it anyway.
I’m really looking forward to tuning this bike exactly the way I want it. I love to modify things. Add things just make things work work better for me.
