This passed Sunday I rode my new 2017 for about 100 miles .
INITIAL IMPRESSION SO FAR :
NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE IN HEAD LIGHT (BRP TUNNELS ONLY)
GLARE ON INSTRUMENT PANEL MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE TIME, ESPECILLIALY IN THE SUN
NICER EXHAUST SOUND .
SEAT OK BUT IT SEEMS YOU GET STUCK IN ONE POSITION AND CAN NOT MOVE EASILY (2013 AND 2014 TOO MUCH SLIDING )
I PROBABLY WILL PUT A HIGHER VERSION CORBIN SEAT ON , LIKE TO MOVE A LITTLE WHEN RIDING.
BY FAR THE BIGGEST IMPROVEMENT WAS THE STOCK TIRES.
I NEVER LIKED THE BRIDGESTONES ON MY 2013 AND 2014 .
THE 2017 HAS THE DUNLOP SPORTMAX TOURING AND THE GRIP IS ABSOLUTE PERFECT. (DRY ONLY SO FAR )
ON MY 2013 I PUT A BRIDGESTONE BT 090 (VERY GOOD) IN 150/60
ON THE 2014 I HAVE A CONTI ROAD ATTACK CR 2 IN 150/65 AND THAT IS ALSO A VERY GRIPPY TIRE.
I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE MILAGE , JUST GRIP AND RIDE.
PERSONALLY I WILL NOT PUT A 160 TIRE ON THE BACK BUT IT SEEMS TO WORK FOR MANY RIDERS.
I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE DUNLOP SPORT MAX IF THEY COME AVAILABLE IN OUR SIZE IN THE USA.
