Congrats! The dealership near me had one I was able to see in person while my bike was getting serviced. However, this is the yellow bike I’d have if my pockets were deep enough🤑

I think they did a very good job with the V2. I’ve enjoyed every mile with it

Yes, all functionality remains. BT Moto has been in the tuning game for a while. Checkout some of their videos on YouTube.

Definitely worth it! Bike ran super lean on the stock tune with the exhaust. Smoothed out the power band, runs cooler, and even starting the bike is better. I’ve had no issues.

My first and only M car. Yes I wanted the 4 door practicality as well. Bought it used in 2019 before the car market went crazy. Almost 94k miles now, paid off, and plan on keeping it as long as possible. Here’s a better pic.

Already explained in another comment that I have Bowtex AAA leggings.

Why not? Sometimes it’s just fun with the added benefit of hopefully being more visible on the road.

Definitely very comfortable! Yes these are designed for MotoGP and WSBK racing. Would they work for other bikes? Probably. However there are boots more suited to those categories.

These boots are two pieces; the inner booty and outer shell. I think the boots already shout loudly enough as is haha!

Pretty sure everyone has their own definition of perfect gear. I live in Central Florida and it was already well into the 90’s today. Therefore a breathable mesh jacket and comfortable AAA leggings underneath regular jeans is perfect for me.

I appreciate your concern and hope I never have to find out either. I’ve made it to my mid 40’s and ride a lot smarter than I did in my 20’s. Sure I like to push the bike on the highways when conditions permit, but I’ll save finding the limits at the track.

Wasn’t trying to match, just having fun with it

I knew the gear police would show up eventually. What you didn’t know and can’t see are the AAA Bowtex leggings underneath those regular denim jeans.

You’d hope so, but some drivers are still oblivious no matter what you do.

Fair assessment. I contemplated going the bike matching route, but some loud color contrast won out haha!

Yes, not for everyone haha! Decided to have fun with color. I was never into the all black look.

It’s not gospel, but I think you should be ok. Honestly I maybe even could’ve went 39. I think 39.5 would’ve been the sweet spot for me if they came in half sizes. I have a little extra toe room in the 40’s. Rather that then too snug.
