Thanks for the replies, the article in CW that referenced that comment indicated since the suspension is not adjustable but its sensors adapt to road changes, its "better" for street rising as compared to racing, etc

I found a 2019 base model with some nice options, pro taper bars, windscreen and side bag. From what ive read, the base model has "better" suspension for street riding. Plus I think the base model has a simpler computer set up with less functions Any base model owners, feel free to chime in-Thx

Good to know, I did notice most of the used ones for sale barely have 3000 miles....Curious why so many have such low mileage. I got my MG about 1yrs ago and im coming up on 8000 miles.

Well gang, I took one out for a test drive and all I can say is YOWZA!! I kept in 4th gear most of the ride but when you reach a certain point on the throttle and acceelerate, it takes off like a rocket (at least compared to my MG) A little cramped as I have long legs but overall not too bad...

Appreciate the reply and info, good to know

Thanks for the info, good to know. Sounds like its fun bike with a few mods, I think the windsceen, new seat and lowering of pegs may greatly improve things. Too bad mfgs dont make a bike that already has that lol Be safe!

Appreciate the info, I have about a 100mile round trip to work but only go in to the office 2days a week. Most riding is done on RI/CT back roads.It definitely is a great looking bike. I have heard about starting issues but that seems to be the main issue. I may see if I can get to Moms and sit...

If you ever pass through RI, let me know, Im looking at FTRs Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, I have a Moto Guzzi V85TT-Great bike and rides well but I need to ride less upright and a bit hunched over. Good to know-appreciate the info. Any general concerns with the FTR I should know about?

Hi all, Thinking about getting this bike and have read and seen several online reviews and youtube videos. I'm 6'2, with 34" legs and some minor lower back issues. If anyone here has similar traits, how comfortable is the bike for you? I also use my bike to go to work which is 100 miles round...
