Picked up my new bike a couple of weeks ago and have put a few hours in the seat.
Observations: first up, the electronic suspension is sooo good. Our roads have suffered a bit through the pandemic(lots of rain, little maintenance) but the bike reads the road incredibly well. I consciously chose this option and have not been disappointed. Significant improvement over my old 2016 AT with manual suspension.
Second, DCT. I didn't really want this option but in Australia you have to take it if you want ES. I'm finding for spirited riding that manual mode is really good tho... You get to choose which gear to stay in and the engine braking works really well on a tight twisty road.
The seat. I must be getting old or maybe the upright position is not what I'm used to, but my bum aches after a couple of hours in the saddle. I ordered it with the low seat but have the standard one too so will swap her out and try that.
Finally, The lighting is brilliant at night. I ordered her with the honda auxiliary lights and on high beam it's almost as good as my car!
