Yes very happy to be honest,It did take a while but I gelled with it at my last track day
As a road bike it's brilliant very comfy but you can knee scrape on it easy and it has bundles of torque.Its old tech and under powered compared to the new stuff but who cares.In a few years time when the current crop become 2nd hand I will swap for a nearly new bike
If I was rich I'd have an il4 and a twin in my garage :) o and a v4 :)

I know it sounds very good in reviews etc , but it just doesn't float my boat I'm afraid.
