I am amazed every time I ride my new 500, with it's comfort and especially the power that the 500cc single puts out, effortlessly. The 'Mid range' from say 30 mph to 70 is as quick as either my past T-max 500 or either of my 650 Burgmans. Both of the aforementioned have higher top speeds and may accelerate faster from a stop but in a roll on, I bet the 500 Xciting would leave them!
I had a beautiful ride in to work today at 65 degrees, going up to 75 they say! Finally this weather will let us ride!!
