First ride impressions . . .

 

Rode about 50 miles. Nice exhaust note -- louder than my other bikes but not Harley-straight-pipes loud and obnoxious. Happy to see BMW adopt the "Japanese" style turn signal button. With a curb weight of 480 lbs, it is a very nice "little" bike. I haven't had a bike like this in ages. Very pleased with my purchase.

 

I saw a high engine temp of 245 degrees F while riding but mostly it was around 230.

 

Not as stable as my other BMWs on the freeway at 70 mph. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't unstable. Lack of fairing/aerodynamics probably.
