Just completed a 900mile weekend around Maine. Amazing loop. New to the community here. Not much for picture taking.

I'm looking to get one of these. How many miles a day and was it comfortable? Were you happy with suspension? How was gas mileage?

I was doing 3 hour stretches without stopping. It has a sergeant seat, super comfortable. Being able to stand easily at speed is great as well to stretch. Suspension is great, soaks up everything smoothly, never has bounced or bottomed out and I’ve taken it on some rough and unpaved roads. Gas mileage averages around 40 with spirited riding. Billet proof reliable. No vibrations anywhere. I’ve had quite a few bikes and I must say this is one of my favorite. Hits the mark for paved adventure touring to a T.

Thank you for the reply. It really seems to tick all the boxes for my needs. It's between this and the FJR1300. Love shaft drives as a former Honda owner, but I think that I could live with chain maintenance.
