Nice!!!! I put 425 miles yesterday rode her mostly in the rain back to NY.. this is 1st motorcycle that I felt the most confident in the rain. Better than my k1300 due to lower ride height I guess and the s22tires are good!! Also the traction control at full setting was quiet helpful... I felt the same abt the grips a bit narrow..and quick shifter was slightly notchy in power mode A, need to play with the settings.. overall came home safely...

Can anybody with a gen3, please have a look and advise on the front brake line? Does it have that stupid link hose around the rear of the front guard, or have they changed it to a Y design under the nosecone? And if it's a Y design, any chance of a pic or 2 on line routing to the calipers? Thanks.
I'll have a look this evening.... I think they are the same as the final run 2013 onward Gen2 bikes but I'll confirm a UK spec bike later

Were you on 95 in MD yesterday? Saw someone riding north on 95 and It was my first time seeing a Gen 3 in person and it was a beautiful bike.
