I picked mine up Tuesday. I have less than 100 miles on it now, but I think it will be a keeper. I haven't checked the speedo against the GPS yet, but if it is anywhere accurate, it is a very fast bike. It's much easier to get to serious ticket speeds than is the GTS.
What surprised me most is how small it is. And the lighter weight is much appreciated. But I do miss the RADD front end. I'll keep you posted.
