1 hour is not long enough. But it gave me a taste. It was an R with the standard mid controls which was too cramped for me. The seat was also a bit small length wise. Im a long legged 6.2in
But every thing else was great. The best 3 improvements over the old model is the steering, gear change and brakes. The suspension deserves a worthy mention. The cornering is beautiful.
The power was good but slightly less that what I expected, maybe because my 08 has a bit more than standard.
Gauges are a bit meh, but there is a heap of information on them if you like that.
I would buy the GT for a few bucks more.
