I didn't regret it, but often wondered if I would, till the new CX (Roadster) can't out weeks ago and I realized it's a much better fit for me ergonomically and I prefer it stylistically.
Cool bike. Should take care of the need for "hooligan" riding. My S3 Thunderbolt fulfills that need for me.
Always liked the XR but that self retracting side stand was an immediate deal breaker for me. I lived with one for 4-5 years with my R100RT and swore never again! Nice bike though. And I like the new 2016 Roadster minus the fenders and small tank.
That sidestand is really pretty different from the BMW one.It doesn't self-retract UNLESS it hits something. It doesn't just pop up cause you unloaded it.
Hmm... It's been a few years since I sat on one in the dealership. Maybe it was just my excessively short legs not being able to retract it easily. I have a good memory- it's just short🤔.
Uh, the first thing you do when straddling the bike before starting the engine is retract the side stand. It's like finding neutral, the rider shouldn't have to look for the green light...
I lusted for one of these things for a long time. Finally got a chance to test ride a used one at local HD dealer about a year ago. Gotta admit, it was a rush. But it was like two different bikes in one package. Above 3K RPM it was outstanding, fast and smooth! Below 3K rpm it was like sitting on a concrete mixer! Vibrated so bad it made my vision blur. Definite deal beaker there. Got on the V11Sport and smiled all the way home. So, is that below 3K shake characteristic of the model or unique to the sample I got?
That is assuming someone is standing a bike up to ride it and not in a dealership to try on the fit etc.
