First, it’s great to be part of this
I picked to a First Edition yesterday with less than 1000 miles on it. Picked it up from BMW Escondido and rode it straight back to Malibu. About 160 miles and around 4 hours, I could easily have done another 100+ no problem.
After reading some reviews, I was concerned it was going to be tiresome to do this in one shot. It’s really was, in fact, a breeze. The engine, with that amazing torque is raw, docile (both meant complementary) and unbelievably usable. Some have found the ride way too firm, natural compromise because of the hard tail look. I didnt find this at all. I set up the preload and, with its weight, the bike was a delight on the freeway and amazingly planted. If anyone’s in two minds about whether to get this bike, honestly just do it you’ll never regret it
