What's cool about aluminum is it's rust resistance. Not a big deal for sunday drivers but I guess that 15-20 year old steel bikes in places like UK tend to rust at some point.

I prefer the look of the Empulse by far but zero has a better technology. If prices go down I might pull the trigger, but if I only make 5-10k km/year it's not worth it, and since I live in town and winter lasts 6 months in Canada, I'm not really likely to do more than that. Otherwise, I think...

I'm quite tall am the fairing gives some protection but also a lot of turbulence...

26 here, second bike, I'll try to keep it until electric bikes are better and cheaper.

No close call in five years but I don't think that I'm really a good driver.

I drop in first when I'm mad at traffic and get a chance to leave them into dust

Garage stored, already done, Montreal is getting really chilly already.

Looks fun but its quite hard to find suited tracks since go kart track owners aren't always open to bikes.

In the same-ish category, the one bike that I found more comfortable for tall riders is the BMW F800GT

It sucks, but at least its back on the road soon. Do you have a review of the windshield?

It makes no difference. Octane grade is mostly for detonation, 91 isn't "better" or more premium as it can be with a cheap mineral vs synthetic oil.

Rear is mostly to come to a stop smoothly

Having a natural and comfortable position on a mid range bike is more the exception than the norm from my experience

I come back from a trip in eastern Canada and it's crazy how almost 100% of the motorcycle travelers (aside from goldwing baby boomers) have a BMW f something or rg, as if it was illegal to make long distances with a Japanese bike Nice bike though, I'm trying the f800r soon.
