Unitbody, funky suspension.

Woah, Valencia? On a brand new screamin’ Duc? Sean I’m jealous.

Ah- ok. Well done, appreciate the service you’re doing.

All well and good if you have the money and availability. The topic is new riders. Building advanced skills should absolutely be a goal from the start, but crawl before you walk.

Yes. Novices. Reread the thread title.

Right next to beating your manager with a baseball bat.

See above about being invisible as A-1 top advice. Also, do all your braking before entering the turn until you’re confident in your abilities, and slow down just a little more than you believe is necessary. Slow in fast (but not too fast!!) out is your friend. You will learn this the first time you go into a turn…

This right here. Take an MSF course, always ride defensively in traffic, observe other drivers as if you are totally invisible. They will be texting, they will be entering your path of travel. It is on you to see this, to slow down or speed up, to move over and be more visible or get out of their way, or at the very…

Don’t get overconfident on the last mile home. You never know when some dump truck is going to leave a nice pile of sand around that blind turn you love to rail.

Sooo... Like an F800ST, but less expensive, cheap seat, heavier, and a slightly sportier riding position?

That is a sexy looking heatsink.

This better not screw up Ducati...

Heh, I see Richmond, VA police officers on 10-15 year old enduros from time to time. Motley looking rattle can XR’s and KDX’s and the like. Wouldn’t want to run from them on foot!

Ugh. Which was worse... the echo, or 8?

That seat is the real winner. The little number plates are pretty cute too.

Ha! Man I nearly forgot about those factory line-locks. We should petition Hyundai to stick one on the Genesis.

You asked how you were doing with LaneSplitter? Based on articles like this, fan-freakin-tastic. Introduce us to some more wide world of sports type two (or three!) wheeled competitions, will ya?

Moley moley moley.

Like with most sportsbikes- Most are applying a frame and suspension setup close to a theorized golden triangle, of sorts. This particular example, with its comparatively higher compression engine and/or lower ground clearance is likely a bit more frenetic and/or passionate at the cost of some smoothness and/or…
