Well, finally hit 3k miles. That's 600 miles of putting around for break in, 100 miles of hard riding at the racetrack, 1500 miles of riding around here in Florida with only a few burst of speed and playing around on what little bit of curves we have, 800 miles of the nicest roads North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee have to offer. This bike does it all. The seat is now broke in nicely and the engine seems to be getting broke in too. I was getting 40ish MPG spiritedly riding the nice roads of the Smokey Mountains. It has a ton of power especially down low. It will pull nicely out of corners at 3k rpms. I'm at the wear bars on the stock 190/50 Dunlop d214 and will be replacing it with Dunlop Q3 as soon as its a little more worn. The stock tires were fine. The spedo is off by 6% (100mph on the spedo is 94mph on GPS). I'm hoping the taller tires will help correct the speedo and lower my rpms at highway speeds. The bike is fantastic, the only thing I may change is the front sprocket so I cruise on the highway without revving the engine so much. The mirrors look nice but its hard to see behind so I may put bar ends on. Every one of my friends are trying to talk me into a fender eliminator and integrated turn signals, so that may come.
