I test rode an S model today and really liked it. I rode in both city traffic and I did about 5 miles on the highway. To be honest, it was so different from my 2019 BMW R1250RT that at first I was overwhelmed lol! It is so light, nimble and compact compared to my RT.
Getting onto the highway I opened it up to 75Mph and there was plenty of power to get up to speed. It handled really well both at highway speeds and in stop and go traffic in Austin. I rode with the different modes and realized SPORT is not for city riding, it is too sensitive and jerky. ROAD was perfect for city riding.
I loved every aspect of the bike except I was a bit concerned how tight the cockpit felt that if I did one of my long distance trips it might become uncomfortable so that is a concern for me. I am mostly concerned with the legroom. Let me add I'm only 5' 10" with an inseam of 29" so not a 6 foot person with super long legs. I'd probably need to buy the 'tall' seat which gives an extra 2CM's of height. The question is will it be enough? Anyone else feel the cockpit to be a bit tight, especially legroom?
My ordered V100 is not supposed to arrive now until June I was told. I'll probably need to take the bike out again before I make my final decision. My sales guy was super nice and said to come down anytime for another test ride.
