ended up on a largely empty stretch of motorway last night, bit blustery but not really strong winds, doing 70 (give or take 50%) and the front end was really light, disconcertingly so.
Not under massive acceleration or anything, just cruising along (maybe winding it on a bit, but not fistfuls)
Could be a combination of the upright position, bags of torque and power and the fact I haven't really done any motorway miles on it yet to get the feel for it at sustained (moderate) speeds.
Reckon I might need to faff about with the suspension pre-loads and see if I can dial it in a bit to feel more planted.
On another note, the Pilot Road 3s are very confidence inspiring, having done a great number of miles on the Tranny with trailwings (dual sport) tyres, I knew my limits of grip, but the PR3s just keep gripping. Threw myself about on a few roundabouts, and had a hoot.
