I'm with trip. My sprint navigation and google maps. While great have their limits while riding. I can't do shit with my roller ball (blackberry) when its in my tank bag map pocket and I have gloves on. That being said... on a patch of straight highway I have pulled it out to F with my pandora radio...

No

Got it back in may.......flew to south florida and picked it up........rode it 833 miles in 12 hrs home and was floored how easy it was. I INTENEDED to do it in 2 days, but it chewed up the miles (245 at a time between fillups) and just made the trip a blast

I've put 5000 miles on it so far and absolutely love it!

For a big bike it's VERY fast and agile!

COG is VERY low, and rev’s are limited to 6500 but once you learn how to shift and steer with your hips, you get really good quick

The boxers are very nice bikes, they definitely surprise you with how maneuverable they are.
