First ride
Forgot to take a shot on first day
Delightful
My first ride of this bike was a delight. I live in a very hilly part of Melbourne, and my CB125 will barely keep up to 60 up a couple of the hills, and it is about a 7kW motor. This 5kW motor will happily keep acacelerating past 90 before I stopped. And it is a heavier bike too.
I am a total noob, riding only 2 days on the roads, never ridden a sports bike, never something so big, so I am taking it slow, cornering slow etc. Already I notice just how it sticks to the road, how much faster I can turn, how the front forks compress nicely with some brake. I feel very safe.
Trying to think about every turns as if I am going faster, entry, exit, trail braking.
Issues
Some issue during first ride
Power failure when handle bars hard left
I discovered if I jerk the handle bars hard left the power cycled. After a quick call to the manufacturer, we discovered a loose connector from the key. I have to remove the a few things to get to it to reseat it. However, for now I discovered that using the remote key to start intead, then does not have this issue. For now, safetly wise, I will use the key, until the 500km initial service.
