Having just turned 20k on Olivia I can say she is the "funnest" bike I've ever ridden...and I was quite happy with my 2 V11's... but there is something about how "flickable" Olivia is in the twisties.

During the week the ride to work is 15 miles. The ride home could be anywhere from 15 to 50 miles! She is quite happy doing 80 on the freeway or clicking through the gears in the mountains. The tranny is very smooth and precise, better than my V11's.

No bike is the perfect bike for everyone. Olivia just checks all the boxes for me!!

Ride safe with whatever you choose and...

Have fun!!

Jeff

When I first got her..

Took delivery of my 2016 Stone II in July of 2015. The stumbling cold start warm-up was cured with the loading of a later issue map at first service. Absolutely trouble free since then.
