The complaints I am hearing are that 1) it has a radiator and 2) they have gone from the 360 firing motor like traditional Bonnie twins to a 270 degree firing motor which will ruin the exhaust note
Personally I think it looks too much like the old GT1000 Ducati which I didn't find attractive at all with the rear end stuck way up in the air and the gas tank not parallel to the road surface. The GT1000 also had one of the ugliest seats on the planet which thankfully the Thruxton didn't copy.

But yeah, all those 2016s and good deals on new 2015s make it tough.

Hope you enjoy the test ride. I'm 6'3" and ride a 2014 and find the leg room fine. I often do 300+ days and no problems at all.
