Thank you guys!
Today I could go for another short ride around Cornudella de Montsant (pics below), just to get a few first impressions.
What a toy! I feel like I can do anything to her. She is lighter than both my old Varadero and Crosstourer, but it also feels like the weight is more centered. When tackling bends, she reminds me my old Dominator (just tilt her more than your body without hesitation).
DCT is not as precise as manual, of course, but this one shifts gears quite much as I do (down in S mode and up in D mode). Today I have amended DCT choices when necessary with the flaps, because for some reason the pedal doesn't work (I will complain!).
She claims she is not much thirsty, and her tank is enough to go beyond 250 km. I will see.
In the past I remember that my Varadero MK2 (2004) needed more gasoline than your ones beyond the Pyrenees, unless it was me who was beyond the Pyrennes (my consumption then got reduced). I never knew if it was because our gasoline was poorer or because I rode differently when in Europe (with wife on the bike
).
Thoughts on comfort, wind protection, brakes, or electronics or ... I may share in the future.
Greetings to all,
Josep
