I have never been a huge naked bike fan. But I did find the styling of the bike very appealing. I thought the bike had a very nice overall look. Siting and the bike the upright position was comfortable and i could see myself riding this in a longer ride

The power was a nice smooth all the way across the board, not the "I'm going to rip you off the bike" hit the you feel on a sportbikes. The ride/feel/handling was to me very siMilar to a big super motar bike.

On the down side the foot pegs were out of place for me When riding on the balls of my feet the heel was blocked by the exhaust braket. The digital display was busy, but I don't really care how fast I'm riding just as long as it feels good that is my speed and Ima sticking to it.

Overall nice bike

Where or who do u see buying this bike. Would be a nice daily comuter or I'm going to catch some heat for this. It would be a great first bike. Smooth managable power ease of riding, stylish ( cuz we all like sexy) seemed to be a very forgiving bike at speed.

Just my .02

The bike was a better ride than I expected feels light on it's wheels like a 600, Smooth power delivery and plenty of power to put a grin on your face, the mufflers got to go they get in the way of riding with the balls of your feet on the peg but after sitting on the second bike with the Two Brothers Slip-On's it was OK. Overall it's a bike you can enjoy and is stylish in the Orange and White color scheme. Thumbs Up.

Too bad I missed it. I would have really liked to compare it against my FZ6, as it has similar characteristics from what you guys have been able to describe.

I really haven't had time to look into the specs, but does anyone know how large of a fuel tank it has? It's range on a tank and it's dry or wet weight?

One thing I like about my bike is that it has a large tank, over 5 gal and I can go well over 200 miles per tank before I fuel up.

I liked it a lot! It was so nice to feel some power! It was extremely comfortable too...

Thanks for the invite to this guys, I was looking forwad to it but had to work late at the last minute. Sounds like you all had fun.

I want to say thanks to everybody that came out and rode. It was awesome to meet everyone, and I hope you all had fun, even though the rides were short.

Thanks for giving us this opportunity, Justin. Let us know whenever you need test riders are we'll get peeps out!

BTW, here's the thread with a few pics from the event:
