One of the great things about this bike for me is the weight and balance. Its dry weight is 386 pounds, 416 full of fuel. It doesn't feel top heavy--just nimble and quick. I'm 5'4" and weigh 110, so the light weight is nice. My bike doesn't feel intimidating (unless you grab a handful, and if you do, that's your own fault).
Apparently it will go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.36 seconds, and has a top speed of 135. I say apparently, because I've done neither. I'd say I don't really care about all that, but I'd be lying. My bike accelerates very quickly in any gear, which means I can get out of your way, pass a truck or just generally give myself a little thrill at the quick twist of a wrist. This easy acceleration makes my bike very safe, and it's because of this safety factor that I love my bike. Really.
In 2014 I changed the stock shock and fork springs with RaceTech versions for my weight. Most bikes are sold for the average 180lb. male, which I am not. It's like I have a new motorcycle. If you're anything other than average, I highly, highly recommend getting your suspension customized for your weight and riding style.
