Picked the new bike up this afternoon. Only ridden for a few miles but wow what a lovely bike. I see what you mean when you say it's different feel to an inline 4. Nice to have a shifter and blipper and it's so easy to get into gear. Brakes are so much more than the Suzuki I had.
Yeah I thought they were extra. They didn't have the single seat cowl but my lad comes out a lot with me so not too fussed for now
She looks stunning and now you've had a taste of a V-twin it's unlikely you'll ever look the same way at a four cylinder bike ever again! Regarding the pillion seat situation, all 1199 and 1299 models came as standard with the solo seat cowl and pillion seat/ pegs, the cowl was fitted from the factory and the pillion stuff was in the kit box they were shipped with, the 899/959 models were shipped with the pillion seat and pegs fitted and the cowl was an accessory to be purchased, hope this clears all the doubts about what should be with a bike when you buy it!
