I had come to a realization a few years ago that I pretty much only liked bikes with fairings. Funny how quick this bike grew on me, I have to say I totally dig the look and the colour is sweet. And I was surprised just how comfortable it was long distance and even 90 mph on the Interstate was fine. My uncle put bar backs on so it's a little more upright than stock which is comfortable. I find it interesting that the OEM ergonomics are very close to my R1100 S.
