You definitely won't regret getting the 10.
Love mine but after more than 2 hours on her my knees are aching like no tomorrow so i think my next bike will be a big naked v twin. spend less time hunched over!
Mmmm KTM 1290!

The 10 felt less hunched over than the 7 I am on now.

The 6 felt like my track bike, I think a bit too track for the road but a great motor and no need to rev it to death.
The 10 felt like a 600 with a monster motor, but the demo bike I rode had an issue with the brakes were a bit of an issue after the monster brakes on the six.

I am leaning towards the 10 so easy to ride, seat is better than the 6 and turn in is soooo easy. :)


the 10's brakes are no match for the 6's ones.
but the new 10's brakes are a massive improvement over the crim and gumby 8)

I noticed that on the Wisemans run last week. Definitely no wind resistance from your upper body :lol: :lol: :lol:
Maybe test ride on a Zeddy as well........... you know your not getting any younger and your back will thank you....

Lets' not start with the old comments Brad :).....I honestly don't think comfort will be an issue on the 10 and if I want more leg room I can drop the pegs.
