Nice bike - have fun!
I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...

**UPDATE**

I look everywhere.  Can't find the ownership.  Call dealer.  "Oh, we forgot to transfer it into your name.".

FFS.....

They are allegedly Fedex-ing the ownership overnight...
likely just an honest mistake...you should have it tomorrow...it happens. :)

I ordered a lock for our new house...it arrived without a fricken key.  ::)

You'll get it soon enough, I'm sure.  Nice purchase nonetheless!

Uh huh...after I pointed this out prior to the bike being shipped like 10 times. And was told, 10 times it would be done.

well, in that case, they likely did it on purpose.  :P

Wait I'm confused......or probably just I'm not familiar with how Ontario handles the title/ownership things.

When I bought my bike, they submitted the registration and title. The state then mailed the ownership title to me in the post- arrived within about a week.

Dealers issue titles on the spot in ON ?  ???

Yes.  You get it instantly from the Ministry of Transportation.

Got out for a quick ride..60km...on muddy, dirt roads of course!

Might need to alter the windscreen a bit...wind hitting me on the forehead. No buffeting..But blast could be higher.

Not quite used to the power delivery....tried to ride it similar to the Duke, but not enough grunt down low. Will need to keep the revs up.

Suspension better than expected, but the front is soft under hard braking. Sag not set yet..Suspension might work better for me.

 LED lights pretty bright. But for as much night riding as I do I might add auxiliary lighting. A couple of small spots should do.

Is comfortable, but definitely not scooter comfortable. I felt a bit out of riding shape. Not horrible...will be fine in a couple of weeks.

Horn is placed ABOVE turn signals. Not used to that. Honked horn way too many times when going for signals!

Seat is a PITA to put back on. Maybe I just don't have the knack quite yet.

Fuel economy is shocking.  Ride was spirited without taking it to redline. Managed 3.2L/100km. Unbelievable!
