Sadly I didnt, there was a demo day in jersey I was going to go to, but after a little more research I went upstate and bought the triumph instead. The centerstand was a big issue for me and I think I would have had to haggle for the luggage. Only other ting that concerned me was it may have been a bit uncomfortable for longer trips.

In terms of forum members, I think I recall seeing that Phoenix, Acalliste, and No worries all rode one at the kawasaki riding events, perhaps one of them will chime in soon.

From what I've heard the motor is designed more so for street than a high strung/hi rpm kinda of deal, which is great. I have yet to be able to ride one but have sat on it, I liked the higher bars and seating position, but still would've liked to have a bit more leg room with a lower peg setting.
