I have the 08 AE model. I recently rode a 2023 ES model for 5 days. The 23 with the 6-speed felt a little torquer through the low RPM range. However I did notice there was more shifting required where the five speed matches the power spread pretty well. The 23 electronics are modernized including the ECU and elec adjustable suspension but I paid five times less for my gen 2 bike and upgraded to high-end suspension with the savings. I ride solo I don't need to make large suspension adjustments. The riding traction modes don't do much for me but the one thing I would want in the Gen 3 plus bikes would be the Factory cruise control . Other than that I think it's a toss-up because I have the trick Auto clutch which ended in 09 in the USA. Bottom line is I would get any version except for the Gen 1 because that model cooks your legs with engine heat and I don't think it has abs which is a good feature on unfamiliar roads and changing weather.

I agree spot on

Had an 07 now a 2014. Best bikes. Bar risers help bigtime

[@f3verMonkey]

Which bar risers did you install?

[@stevesmith756]

@@f3verMonkey got them off Amazon. They are solid 1 inch risers

[@paulsouthgate8954]

Adjust the clutch lever closer to the bar

[@f3verMonkey]
