Flew to Pensacola yesterday and made it home (Austin, TX) today. 732 miles...thunderstorms and high cross winds kicked my butt. Overall I was very impressed with the stability and performance of the bike. Only hit 90 mph a couple of times and the engine felt very strong. I was most impressed with the bike's stability in very heavy crosswinds. I also managed to travel about 100 miles in severe thunderstorms and felt secure and safe on the rain soaked highway with gusty winds. Fuel economy seemed good but I didn't compute the mileage as I was too lazy. Seating and ergonomics are comfortable for me but definitely not a long distance touring machine...(guess I'm spoiled by my Goldwing). I'm looking forward to running around the Hill Country of central Texas.
