Exactly. It's difficult to define, but it's there. I can feel it on every ride. It starts with the incredibly easy Slip-Assist clutch pull, and the way the bike pulls away so smoothly from a stop. This presence is felt through each turn, and every cresting of a hill, the motor alternately purring and growling in satisfaction over being set free to gallop and rejoice.
It feels like a high-end Acura, only with so much more mechanical soul.
