Just registered here today. Great to find this site and looking forward to spending a bit of time on the forums exchanging infos and ideas. Bought my shiny new silver X almost 3 weeks ago and its currently at 2254km on the odo. Love it! Coming from a R80 airhead and XR600/650 background it did not take much adaptation in keeping the revs down. So far I have run into the rev limiter only once but its never an issue. Very happy with the fuel consumption too, its very much the same as a 2003 F650GS Dakar I had, though I am known to have a heavy throttle hand.
Happy miles and smiles to all of you, This NC bike rocks!
