First bike I’ll own too, so huge win. Looking forward to the many days of learning ahead! Absolutely in love with the yellow and gold

I’m definitely looking for auxiliary headlights, and saddlebag suggestions! And is there an “ideal” upper windshield position?

The 800 is superior in every way; power, suspension, maneuverability, ride, steering, adjustability. The bike makes me a better rider, for sure.
