The salesman, who had seen my Bandit, said "here, just sign the demo ride paper, I'll go get the keys. I'm not trying to sell you one, you just need to ride it". (He didn't even look at my drivers license
)What a nice bike! The handling is unbelievable, the steering is way light and neutral. The 19" front wheel must have something to do with that, but they really got it right, and it only weighs 510 lbs with 6 gallons of gas in it! The TL FI 90 deg twin has mucho grunt.
M4, Two Brothers, others, make aftermarket exhaust, that and a remapping, it sounds like a harley on huge amounts of steroids, and puts the hp easily over the stock 105.
This is THE bike if you are tall (33" seat height), or miss your dirt bikes...and want to carve corners, do wheelies, whatever, wow.
From one of the many reviews you can find with a Google search:
This bike can scratch like a sports bike, commute like a scooter, tour like a Beemer, put a grin on your face like a Supermoto, I still think that the bike could have been styled more adventurously, but if I could only have one form of transport, the DL1000 V-strom would be it.
