Three Words: FAR EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS!!!
I spend 6 hours and 350 miles on the new kid today. It is truly amazing from its comfort, its solid feel/build quality, its super nimble handling and its power. I am beyond impressed with the motor. The sound is excellent and the few times I did venture north of 10000rpm I was very surprised at how insanely strong the motor is. I am not picking on my Speed Triple but there is no way to compare those two motors. Compared to my BMW S1000XR is seems very close. Maybe after full break in it is possible the two will be too close to tell. The GSX-S is about 50 lbs lighter. But that does not matter to me!! I got the bike to have a comfortable naked that was capable of fun things and I have succeeded quite nicely!!!
The seat to pegs distance is a wee bit cramped for me but when I get a Corbin seat that will help some (I expect to gain about an inch with the seat change).
I need more quality time and will share my thoughts accordingly!!!
Here are some more pics of the El Diablo in its natural environment:
