No bike is totally perfect, and asking this question might be helpful to me in getting a better understanding of the pro's and con's of this model.
Thanks for any responses.
1) rather small fuel tank on my 2016 Canadian model.
2) that there is no OEM pannier solution that could be installed with the original rear carrier in place, and that would not require relocation of rear turn signals.
3) Battery removal is too complicated. A motorcycle used in a cold climate with the likelyhood of several months in winter storage (especially unheated storage!) must have its battery removed. That this requires messing with the tight space under the tools/first-aid kit storage casette (which must itself be first removed!), was a rather poor design decision.
And that leaves the items 4 to n (where n approaches infinity) that I like a lot.
