      Thanks!
      The good news is that I took the bike out for a (very) short ride today.
      It's quite amazing...
      The engine likes to rev and the "Devil" exhaust gives a deep grumble that's not too loud thanks to the db killer.
      The bike feels quite light allthough the long wheelbase doesn't help in sharp corners.
      Suspension is on the firm side but I haven't adjusted anything so far.
      The position on the bike is sporty but seems acceptable for one or two hour rides.
      To be confirmed off course.
      As I had ridden my GS 1000 ST a couple of hours earlier, there is no comparaison possible.
      The bike feels of "one piece" like any modern bike mostly due to the suspension components ( R6 rsu front fork and Ohlins monoshocked rear )
      Definitely looking forward to ride it more.
