Whats up everyone? I just picked up a new 959 today and rode it home. Coming from a 848 EVO its a totally different feeling, it didn't want to shake my arms apart when holding on to the bars. The turn it felt a lot easier, I didn't have to heave it over into a turn. Also, I surprised how compact the bike is, I dont feel like I am laying on my stomach as much as with the 848.
Pros So Far
Smoother engine
Turn in felt a lot easier
Stock pegs actually had some grip to them!
Digging the dash and different riding modes
Gripes
The exhaust heat under the seat
Leg kept hitting the clutch cover
Having to wait till 600 miles before I really open her up
Looking forward to talking with everyone on this forum and enjoying the 959.
