They did excuse the "pre-production" glitches...so they weren't the basis of the write-up, apparently. It's probably old news to most, but it's nice to see something positive.

Picking up my wife's son at the airport last weekend this nerdy girl had this shirt on...she looked very similar, too. I couldn't help but bust out laughing. Some bystanders started chuckling a little as well.

Indeed.

If she looked more like this it probably wouldn't have been so funny

This review is a year old from the original press release...

Oh look what they comment on...

The stumble and surge in the fueling that seemed worst while trolling at low revs is a known issue. Likewise, the final spring rate for the shock is undetermined as of yet. Also, the ambient air temp display isn't so ambient. In production, the plan is to move the sensor closer to the front of the bike and have the ECU freeze the reading as it feels the bike begin to slow or stop so as to better reflect ambient air.

Other electric gremlins included a fuel light that appeared to come on early. It also appeared at the time that no safety cut-out switch existed for a deployed kickstand when the bike is put in gear.

"And here we go............."

Anybody got that tube of Thread Weld? We could just combine the good 1125 and bad 1125's into one heeping pile of threadiness.
