Much more refined in several areas than the older variants, and loaded with all sorts of goodies: Ohlins front and rear, single-sided swing-arm, quick-shifter (up and down), lots of tech goodies (ABS, traction control, wheelie control, etc.), custom-izable riding modes, a nice big TFT display, etc.

They rip, and the handling, sound, and torque will give you perma-grin.

YMMV...
