First ride - Tommy's 11_imp - 10-06-2013
Went out for a little ride today with my son and really good friend Kevin. Son was on my old Bandit and Kevin on his nearly new Concours 14. It was a little windy about 10 to 15 mph but temp was good about 65. I was really pleased with new 1100. The cornering ability is very surprising . Could not push it to hard due to lack of break in but engine very responsive. I don't think I've ridden a better all round bike. This thing just manages to do everything without any straining . Can't wait to go out again. Went almost exactly 100 miles on 3/4 tank of gas too.

Don't forget break in on those new tires also... Don't want to push a big lean in a curve taking it easy even on the engine but have the tires not being broken in and give out on you...

Actually you probably used closer to 1/2 a tank. The fuel gauge on our bikes is one of their few flaws. Mine reads empty and is flashing reserve with over 2 gallons left, and others have reported the same issue.
