After riding it some, I have a few things that I've noticed.
1. It feels like the bike needs a 7th gear. That is good and bad. The torque in 6th is amazing, so not used to that. But feels like it needs another gear.
2. First seems too short.
2. The ESD feels "funky" at speed (70 mph) trying to swerve it feels overly tight.
I'm sure both of those are things I will just have to get used too.
The bike is freaking amazing. Should have some group ride photos up tom.

Maybe you're just not used to having a vehile that revs to 13 or 14k redline.

No I haven't.
This is simply the point I was making. I should have worded it differently. I was just implying that I wasn't used to it, and it felt like it could use another gear. It has so much torque at low RPM.

Just a few pics from her first ride in the mountains of North GA
These are just some that I took with me phone. (I am not in any of these.)

Friend followed us around in the S2000 and passenger took literally hundreds of pics. Will post more in the media section as soon as we sift through them all.

Still needs some work, but I didn't want to put her down on her first day out.
