I love this bike. Doubt i'd ever get one because the price is higher than i want to spend on a toy. I do enjoy hearing how "she's heavy". That's an interesting thing to hear for someone who's ridden cruisers on almost every road he can. I've had some awesome twisty roads on a 800 lb Yamaha raider. Extremely fun. And honestly, I never felt like a bike was fighting me in the corners. Of course, I wasn't trying to lean over and drag a knee. But 500 lb in a naked bike sounds like a walk in the park weight wise. I rode a Yamaha MT07 for a while and a Suzuki GSXR 750. Those bikes felt like they were going to float away they were so light.
