1200 miles in, I love it. I even like the model name, DL650K8A.
Current mods: painted exhaust shield, madstad windshield bracket/mount, and oem knuckle guards.
53 average MPG on my daily 70 mile commute, 90% freeway at speeds ~70MPH. actually kind of low compared to some other peoples milage reports - reporting high 50s low 60s! I guess I like to ride hard, maybe I should’ve got a DL1000… :)
