Looks like a real bike,very solid with loads of shiny bits,great paint job,loads of power. It will pull from any gear,very comfortable for longer journeys and handles great.
Takes ages to clean, but rewarding when finished. It's a little top heavy, and can be hard going on the knees due to the weight when manovering around car parks
I have owned many bikes over the last 25 years, in my opinion the Yamaha XJR1300 is the best all rounder. The longest distance I have covered in one rideout is 250miles, and found it to be very comfortable, the guys I went with who rode sportsbikes were crippled.
