I voted awesome because I went for a demo ride on the previous year's model. I wasn't crazy about the small shifter and brake peg...but then I am used to floor boards and wider shifter and brake pad.

Aside from that...this bike was awesome.

I voted Uncool, but to be fair, I think the whole sport-touring class falls into that category. Something about these bikes just feels dishonest to me.

I think the most "dishonest" class is the big Adventure Bikes. It's akin to the big Range Rover that never leaves pavement. :laughing:
