A little tight leg position and after having a Duc 1000cc v-twin, the 800cc parallel twin was a little buzzy. And the turn signals...silly design.
Have to ride some other bikes though and maybe that one again. Being the first time back up hard to think objectively. I did get into "hyperfocus mode" pretty quickly though. That is one thing I do like about riding in traffic. No cell phone, no stereo, no distractions. Completely in the moment.
I think this one is the next test ride:
I know this has a more relaxed leg position. And the two-tone paint is amazing in person. Tube tires though...not sure about that.

Yes, I agree, what you have pictured above should be your next (and final) test ride.
