I test road one last year. I was going to buy one brand new. The dealer offered to throw in bark busters, bash plate and lowering kit all free with the ticket price.
The test ride was good, it had enough go in it to pull up hills and fast enough on the road to stay with the traffic etc.
I just found it too tall for me. Even with the lowering kit I would have struggled on restarts otherwise I would have definitely bought one.
There are some useful YouTube clips telling you how to get more power out of one. From what I gather they are quite restricted due to emissions legislation. Also I think people are binning the ABS post purchase too.
