Finally got out this weekend on the 1st real ride. Rode 60 miles from 2000' elevation to 6000' in varying terrain, most of which included a lot of rocks! First impressions are much of what others have said, engine and trans are highly impressive, particularly the DCT trans. Engine braking is outstanding, handling was very good for a machine of this size. Going to need to do some adjustment on the doors for vibration after a very rocky ride. All and all fantastic ride, look forward to many more. Image Image Image

What happened to the side decals already? Just currious if you like a cleaner look.

Exactly, just like the cleaner look, still have the big Honda on the front and back! It was fun to look at people we passed out riding trying to figure out what it is :)

Is there room to park a 40' toy hauler for two or three days... Internet says campgrounds are closed this time of year.
