No vibrations either, Honda feels like it is going to explode so would go into 6th.  Can cruise in 4th and hammer time.

I'm going to have a lot of fun with that over 4,300 km. lol. I'm getting a friend to 3D print a few of the throttle assists for me, and a throttle lock for the prairies. I know they're not that expensive each but I'd rather spend a few bucks than $40.

Glad you're loving your new bike. Yea when it comes to wind, weight is your friend.

Rode it to the track today.  I love this thing.  The exhaust sounds awesome, I wear earplugs but just a nice burble in the background all the time, so nice.

Cruising at 120km/h, twist throttle and bam 140 lol

But besides the speed it handles really well and nice to have the torque all the time.
