Future plans:
Install belly pan. On back order
Install quick shifter. Not available yet
 
That's one LONG beak!

And no front guard/fender at all. It'd be a pity to see that special motor covered in road grime. But of course, no such stuff happens in Italy!
 
I like the look with no guard / fender :)! Did my 2nd tour today. Have to correct myself...can't say 'tour'...have to call it 'play wildly on public streets'. This is the most dynamic motorcycle of my 30 years motorcycle career!

Your bikes had a rev limiter on it before first service?

Thats interesting, mine did not have that. Should I be worried 🤨
 
No hard rev limiter. Need to exercise restraint on your right hand to keep it under 6500 rpm for the first 600 miles/ 1000km
After that, I’m gladly going to rely on the actual rev limiter
 
Exactly as Hypermono said. My dealer said up to 500km max 6000rpm, from 700km and up max 7000rpm. Looking forward to rev it hard!
 
I sit here waiting for mine to arrive, I have another couple of months. Glad everyone is loving the bike, can’t wait.
 
The lack of a proper front fender and the flimsy plastic radiator grille with giant openings had me worried about puncturing the radiator and leaving me stranded (not to mention the cost of repair and wait time for a replacement radiator).

Since there was none in the market to buy, I made my own.

I'll spray paint it black after a few rides and ensuring no more changes / modifications are required.
 
Wise move! May be worth adding some foam blocks underneath it to hold it forward a little and provide a crumple zone before any stone impacts the matrix.

👍That is a great tip. Thank you. Didn't occur to me at all. Right now the OEM plastic frame provides some crumple zone (my mesh is wrapped over the plastic frame), so nothing is touching the radiator fins, but adding a bit of foam around the edges is definitely a good idea.
