Got a 2027 V2 last month, took it on a rip through some national forests. It's surprisingly easy to ride all day long. I was looking for a midweight sport tourer or tall-rounder with good components and this seems to scratch the itch pretty good.

My last long term road bike was a Ulysses that I loved until consumable parts became scarce. I'd compare the two favorably. A lot of the same muscle memory works, which wasn't the case on the KLE 500 I had for a few months; that thing rode like a Sportster and I couldn't get over that.
