I put about 110 miles on my FTR S RR today, and it was a great day. Some initial impressions:
Oh, and I was out yesterday and when I came back it was raining, so I switched to Rain mode. Noticeable difference in power delivery and feel, very friendly tune.
- the mirrors have to go (mentioned in another thread)
- the seat is very comfortable - no issues after 2+ hours (with a break to refill the miniscule tank; got about 98 miles out of a tank full of gas)
- the motor is a beast! Of course, I had it in Sport mode all day. Love the punch of torque you get in the mid-range. Haven't had it up to the higher rev range (keeping it below 6500 RPM until the first oil change), so not sure what that part of the powerband feels like.
- tires are great, noticed the wiggle in the corners that others have mentioned, but didn't feel out of control at all.
- I'm fairly large (6'4"/1.93m and 260 lbs/118 kg), but the ergos were very comfortable. And the engine had no problem hauling all that weight around.
- it's a joy to ride and I'm putting a lot more miles on it tomorrow!
