My first 100+ miles have been great fun. It was not an easy decision going from a K1600 but even after this short time I could not go back. The biggest thing is how dramatically easy it is to drive without any loss to everything I love about riding a bike. The power off the line was a big surprise and, ( I know I am talking to the choir here), and I did not feel like the little guy on the road at any point. The bike is beautiful and the rear luggage is perfect. Figuring out the navigation is taking some time. I finally got a map to come up but it is beyond me how to enter a destination. I need some more You Tube time. I did find plugging the phone to the USB C was more stable and faster than depending only on WiFi. It might be worth getting a second inexpensive phone dedicated to Navigation. The biggest challenge for me is the back rest. It hits a venerable part of my lower back. So I removed it and covered the holes with an Air Hawk. Temporary. I have an upholstery guy who will be able to shape it allowing me more room before it hits my lower back. The most relaxing two days I have had just riding. More connected with the environment that managing the bike. Might get a bigger shield but I will give it some time.

Congrats! Is that a 2025? Kinda looks like a perel white?
They are super fun to ride. I'll be in FL in 2 weeks. To cold for me to ride here in WI. Can't wait to put some more miles on mine.

Right. Pearl White but the first time I saw it in the store I said out loud, that looks gray. And in the sunlight more so. Sort of a cream gray or ivory gray if that makes sense. I like the color, but there is nothing to suggest diamonds like a metal flake, from what I can tell.
 
Nice! Glad your enjoying it.
Any chance of a shot of the under seat storage as I'm keen ti see how they carved more room in there
I will today. I am locking my helmet on the handle bar as I have been doing for years which for the scooter frees up that extra space.
