Test rode one last week. I was shocked how well it handled the wind. I'm 6' 2". Had a standard F-650 screen. Great bike IMHO. Only thing holding me back is the stalling/cutout issue with the 800cc motor. Supposedly this has/is being fixed in the new bikes now hitting the US. demo bike (53 miles) did not cut out on me.

Test bike was getting 58 mpg according to the trip computer. Based on tank size you are probably looking at about 250 miles on a tank at posted speeds.
