Before anyone says it I don't actually like the 4th gen plus because they made it with a "sportier" riding position it's actually lost leg room & is more hunched over which I didn't want plus I think this one is better looking. Then there's the fact that as this model has now been replaced which in turn has led to me getting £1300 off list. Only done 300miles so far so can't really say much other than the fact the handling is amazing!! Like seriously good. Shocked

Nice bike mate, the high screen, although practical, ruins it's looks a bit.

What bike did you have before this?

Hi I like the screen looks much better with it than without it plus it serves a purpose. Before this I had an MT-07.

Not sure I could live with those wheels. I predict they'll age like a 3 day old crab sandwich left in the sun.

Day-glo pastel colours on motorbikes were last popular in about 1989, back in fashion now.

So by my calculations, you have to keep it until 2059 when we'll have a 2020s revival and dayglo teal wheels will be briefly cool again.

Happily, you can't see them while you're riding it.

And there's me thinking "hmm, quite like the colour on those wheels" Laughing

I'm less keen on the actual bike itself, but it's not mine so whether I like it or not is irrelevant. Thumbs Up

This is speaking as someone who previously owned a KLE500 with a purple saddle, fork gaiters, disc enclosure and fake ram air ducts.
