O.K., I had a chance to take a few more pictures. The bike is quite a handful. Absolutely no comparison with a CBX. You can tell it targets a totally different market segment and is supposed to compete with both the GL and the HD FLH. It is huge and heavy. At least when you push it around. As soon as you ride it, it becomes surprisingly nimble and light around the steering neck. It goes into turns quicker than my R1100RT and does not feel top-heavy at all.
It is too bad the motor is hidden behind all that plastic. I would take the lower cowl off, but it holds some of the engine cooling components.
The performance is awe-inspiring for a big tourer. With 160 hp and 129 ftlbs of torque, there is not much around you will not pull away from when accelerating out of a turn or rolling on the throttle at 50 mph.
The only thing I think requires getting used to is the e-throttle. It has little or no feedback response, at least for me. So far, I can only ride it in the most agressive of three settings, the "dynamic" mode, otherwise I stall the thing at every launch.
When I took the pictures, one of my best buddies insisted to pose with the bike...
..and the, of course, his cousin, always jealous of him and afraid he gets preferred treatment wanted to pose also....these guys
