I'll bite.
Of course it suffers a little from that sort of crap but I love it. Nothing is perfect off the peg.
I looked at a lot of bikes. KTMs, all off the japanese options, various triples, even the speed triple, R nineT. i wanted a rumbly twin, and especially this twin. The engine is a really nice thing.
The R NineT was a strong contender but the shop said they had no ETA to replace the one that sold from under my nose.
New rolled bench seat is on the way without the funny pointy part, which should tone down the bat part. time, miles and a few very easy aesthetic changes will tone down the dad part.
