IMO, the most underrated large displacement ADV on the market. All that torque hits super low in the rev range, and I always enjoyed short shifting it. It munches miles, and is surprisingly agile in the twisties. I'm 5'-9" and 160 lbs, and had no issues with the heavier bike weight. Shaft drive and cruise control are godsends on extended rides.
Love my ‘12! It’s a big heavy pig yes, but that is the irony - makes it very stable for touring and all the positives you mention. Great price for what this is and has added!
