I did a test ride alone on a red S this afternoon with cloudy weather, a lot of wind, on wet road, highway and city.
The bike is easy, confortable, i m 5,9" 1,75m 63kg.
The bike is very steady with efficient olhins shock and fork.
The front brake is enough strong and fork do not sink.
power get out from 3500 to over, the gears are too long to me, perharps it would be better with a smaller sprocket. motor is not explosive like my actual monster 1100 s evo.
My dealer tested in Sardinia a standard model with 3000km and the motor was better.
The sound of exhaust is pleasant similar to a monster 821 .
The shifter up and down is very funny and soft, it s new for me.
Fairing protect correctly my legs but the windshield in high position is not efficient , i ordered the dark longer windshield accessory .
After, I tried the bike with my partner, she has a confortable position , but she need passenger handles. To her, the seat is little hard for a long ride.
It s a good bike and i love it !!
