how do you rate the bike

[@BadYamahaBoy]

The motorcycle is good, good build quality as usually from Kawa, and the bike leans well in corners, and is comfortable for your hand wrist and your back. But for me there was one missing thing with this bike - the engine was very linear with its power delivery. I even tried not to shift gears to get to that max. torque range ... but even then I felt almost no excitment from that engine. I somehow knew in advance how the bike will accelerate, there was a missing excitment factor for me. It is totally opposite on my Tracer 9 which has the CP3 engine. When you full open throttle on that bike, your body is thrown to the back due to high acceleration / torque. I kind of missed that in this bike. But if you are OK with that, and do not like to get that sudden adrenaline rush, then this bike is really a good one for long rides / tours. It definitely has power, I mean it is a 140 hp bike. But I would not buy it for myself.
