The clutch basket on these bikes in neutral can be noisy. Mine has been for +80k miles. It’s a rattling noise.

My first one did I it. Sargent swapped it for me. Noticed the second one doing the same. I replaced the Sargent bumpers with some cut down jeep grill bumpers. They’ve been working fine for a year. It is disappointing considering what the seats cost.

I believe heated grips are an option. Absolutely agree about the center stand and adjustable screen.

Good points. I usually hit it on a weekday in the early morning. Early spring or in the fall. Never on a weekend during the summer.

Parallel Twins just don't do it for me...although I am happy happy happy to see bikes like it being offered.

I was there Monday and Wednesday. Live an hour away. Wish we would have met. Maybe next time.

My Schuberth c3 was destroyed in a recent crash. It did it’s job protecting my moneymaker well. I replaced it with a carbon Nexx vilitar. I’m liking it a lot. Comfy. Much better ventilation than the C3 and excellent visibility. It’s pretty quiet. Seems to be well made.

I didn't work on my 2015.

Hopefully I will…

I know how you feel. Same thing happened to me on the 8th. I came out of it better than you injury wise. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

My only issue was the trim panel that runs under the tank and seat cracked a few months after I got her. My dealer took care of it. She still runs as good as new and I wouldn’t hesitate to head out on a cross country ride today.

I ride year round and It gets plenty cold here. Coldest I've ridden is 8F. I'm not anti tech. It’s just that the latest tech doesn't mean that much to me. My 2015 doesn't have cruise control. I wish it did, but, She's taken me 112K miles without it so it's not that big of a deal.

Same goes for me. I've never had heated grips so that falls into the same category as IMU. I do ride with heated gloves in the winter...

With all that weight spinning around it has to be hard to turn. Also, what do you do at a stop sign?

The center stand is about the only thing I would miss. The other stuff I don’t care that much about…. Except for cruise control. I really want cruise control.

$13799 msrp. Looking even better.

Ha. Apologies, I didn’t mean it like that. Just meant I hope you enjoy her and have safe travels. I’m sure that’s a bike that will eat up the miles.

It’s good that folks notice you.

Good luck.

This might be my next new bike.

How does the quality and longevity of suzuki compare to Yamaha? I briefly owned a DL 650 and it seemed like a simple but durable motorcycle.

Interesting...

We went through Colorado in July. Lot's of fun and fantastic scenery.
