Ok, so an update after 800km with the new toy !

Likes :
- the storage place under the seat
- the general handling of the bike, so much easier than a "cruiser" style bike. The feeling is much better to take corners at speed.
- the tyres, very confidence inspiring in the dry or wet (except those bloody white markings on the roads, slippery as hell...)
- the power
- the fuel consumption
- the bike is quite narrow, perfect for splitting lanes.

Dislikes :
- false neutral at a red light. Doesn't happen often at all, but it happened only once in 5,000km with the Honda, and it's already been 3 times with the Yam...
- blinkers switch : it's a little bit softy for me, you don't feel clearly when you engaged or disengaged them. It's a minor problem anyway.
- the horn button is a little bit too far / down to reach it immediately and without doubt with the thumb. If you have to feel for it for 1-2 second, it's already too late in most of the cases.


In my opinion, having to look down at the rev counter during the break-in period is a bit dangerous, but that's unavoidable I guess. In China you cannot allow yourself not to be completely focused on the road ahead, as it takes only a second for something to scramble in front of your tires.
This morning was a suicidal girl, pulling behind her her younger brother just in front of my wheels, when I was looking down to see the counter....
Yes, I know, I could do it by sound, but I like to be very gentle with engines, so I'm looking precisely at the revs 90% of the time.
