Noticeably lighter than R3
Tech on bars great but if you wear glasses to read - you need them to alter settings.
Road holding - I couldn't loose it.
Power - pretty much what were used to.
Brakes - much improved - no dip when you apply front brakes.
I'm 6ft 2 and I would probably find discomfort in long ride, the lack of wind protection makes you feel like you've been battered.
Maneuvering is real simple - the weight is much easier to shove when not running.
Gearbox is positive ( the bike only had 2 miles on)

That's interesting about the height issue and discomfort on long run. This is the main concern from many on here that are 6 foot an over. Shoud be a breeze for us short arse buggers!

You make it look small at 6'2"... Pretty much makes up my mind of it being to small for me at 6'5"
Thanks for the quick insight

Very nice. They need to come up with a touring type windshield. I wouldn't call the thing they have on there a windshield. It looks useless. Sitting on the bike it doesn't seem proportional. It has a short ass end. I still like it. At 5'9" it should fit me well. Also, concerning the foot pegs. Isn't the GT a few inches forward with 2 or 3 different positions?

The GT has forward pegs and different seat - still not sure as to carrying pillion though - it is a smaller bike. Whereas...........
