After doing the first oil & filter change the NT feels noticeably smoother and feels quicker. Actually the quickness I feel is likely due to feeling free to run the engine up near redline through the gears now that the engine has been run in. Yesterday a big twin HD rider asked me about the bike as we waited for the traffic signal to change. Green light and the HD pilot stomped hard from the line with me giving chase. The NT caught up quicker than I thought but I was really running hard in each gear and the HD backed off somewhere around 80 or so. Overall I’m very satisfied with the entire package, can’t say enough about the comfort, handling, spot on fueling and space for hauling stuff. I’m hoping to get some time and take this baby on a nice road trip.
