I took 1 for an overnight demo and the particular rental/demo I was on had a couple problems but i can say it's got plenty of torque, we were 2 up and it didn't seem to care what gear its in. the r3 is beating up the mrs too much and the trophys adjustable screen showed promise and delivered. we rode thru a thunderstorm and were protected very nicely, the stereo works good enough for the rider and i'm as tough as anyone when it comes to pounding the hwy but when riding 20 hrs straight a radio helps stay awake. in fact my only complaints were its fuglyness and cramped riding position and i'm only 5'7.
