Returning rider and happy owner of 2025 SE
I'm back to riding at 57 yo after an injury and a too-long recovery that nearly killed my spirit and passion for riding. After riding heavyweight bikes it was time for something lighter, modern and fun.
I rode it home today and I'm so very glad I found this bike. Quick, nimble, and so easy to move around the garage. You can really feel the sportsbike origins of that motor, it wants to GO! And it reminds me a lot of the Kawasaki 454 LTD, a standard/cruiser that was popular ~40 years ago, only 50 lbs lighter and better looking.
After the accident my confidence was shot and TBH I never thought I'd ride again. But this bike is just so confidence-inspiring. I've only been 10 miles but I feel like I've added 10+ more years to my motorcycling life.
Enjoy the ride y'all. Have fun. Stay safe.
