Seat time on the N1K

[CIP57_imp]

I have 380 miles on the bike. Yesterday i had a chance to put 280Mi with a trip up into MA. Mostly Highway to get a feel of touring with the bike. Beautiful 80 degree day packed my full hat but rode all day with my 1/2 hat and a pair of goggles. The ride was 240 but when i got home decide to bypass my house for another 40, gives a good idea on how much i like this bike. I averaged 42.5 MPG, when i filled up in MA my range was 218 miles.

The suspension is outstanding, eating up any bumps and imperfection in the road, gives the feeling of a high performance sports car. Once your in 6th you never have to shift, Half throttle roll on from 70MPH to pass a few semi's I looked down and was doing triple digits. Ergo's and wind protection are comfortable at any speed and the seat is very manageable. The bike has a large sweet spot 60-90MPH over that you start to get minimal vibs but only in the pegs.

I would have to rate this bike a better mount than my XX because of the triangle (better for my 5'6" frame) shorter reach to the bars without being on the tank. I never felt any wind pressure with the shield in any of its three positions.

The KTREC system works we'll, in position 1 as long as the rear doesn't spin will lift the front wheel in first second and third, #2 which i rode in will intervene once the front end lifts a few inches and puts it back on the ground. You can feel when this happens, keep in mind i never brought the bike over 8K. #3 would only be used in the rain. Have not tried reduced power mode.

The bike is very symmetrical

and with the bags does not look like a all out sport bike from the back, more like a touring bike which may help not to draw attention to cagers who dislike them.

We'll as you can tell I'm extremely happy with my choice and look forward to many happy miles

I just did the same this morning, only it was 24 and 4.
Bike looks great.
