I have one now!

Only took 4 years waiting and some creative searching by me after I missed the PDP. Headed home with it now. Long day 1046 total miles. Paid to much for it and don’t care. Ordered the all black Leo Vince muffler for it on way home. Exact color I wanted all along. Crazy how it all unfolded.

Welcome to the forum, definitely a good bike and worth the trip. 

Amuses me how 21mpg is a good thing in the USA 😄

Thats pretty good for a heavy duty work truck that you could put your entire car into the back of his pickup and he then whips donuts in a tarred parking lot.

On loading it up. I’d have been tempted to have front wheel into a corner of the truck and the bike diagonally across the back and the tail gate closed. Ah well looks much cooler in straight 🤣.

Congratulations!

After playing on mine all day, I have no doubt the trip was worth it.

3/4 ton diesel truck which will tow/pull 18k lbs with ease. Flip side is it rides like a limo in comfort doing it.

 

900 ft lbs of torque and 450 hp turbo diesel.  Big awesome machine that’s so fast and weighs 8k lbs.

@roy826"Paid too much for it and I don't care ".  My favorite quote so far on this forum!  If I'm lucky enough to find an overpriced one in the land of fruits and nuts, I'll just show that quote to the wife. " See, I'm not the only one!". 😉
