Hi Guys, would really appreciate your feedback on the review format I'm using here. Too long, too short? Would you prefer some on road footage or the return of the model history and owners manual extracts etc? All feedback, good and bad, very much appreciated! Thanks folks :)

I bought a 2017 a couple years ago at 23K, now just passed the 50k level and it's been almost 100% great. I mean that.....apart from a one time mystery electrical issue during a rain storm (tightened the battery cables and it's never happened again......but 🤔🤨), I am extremely satisfied with this machine. Suspension...🤔...sure, I want to increase the spring rate...I'm 220LBS, but I've ridden dirt bikes through out my youth, so I know how to stand up 😊. Recommend....👍👍 I think you did a really good review here. thank you. -Rod

Thanks Rod, I really appreciate the feedback. I think they've really matured in to a great bike and these early ones certainly hide their mileage very well indeed, great bikes imho.

Check and see if the front shocks have been replaced/repaired. The seals were notorious for leaking after about a year or two.

Hi James, I rented the bike to enable me to do the review so can't check but seem to remember them mentioning that they'd been done.

Lucky with the gearbox, had a 2020 ATAS from new and 1st to second crunched like crazy. Honda would not even consider looking at it.

@MagicAyrtonforever Wow, that's disappointing to hear, both with regard to the gearbox and lack of customer service. Did you sell it pretty quickly?

My 2017 DCT has done 23k miles and rides and looks near new. I even off road it with mitas e10 dakar tyres. Can't fault it.

@@austen.5756 I can imagine, I have to say I was impressed especially after the press comments that finish wasn't great. I thought it was excellent.
