    Hi guys, had a ride of the SG yesterday and with the risk of being attacked on here I didnt like it very much. The screen as you said winger is way too low, copped a flogging along the surf coast with the wind. I found I felt really cramped up whilst riding, my elbows were tucked right into my ribs and it felt like I didnt have a lot of control of the bike. There is no doubt they have a substantial amount of grunt which is good. I liked the Sat Nav not that iIreckon I would use it, and the tunes were great whilst riding too. Had a look at the bars and they seemed to be adjusted a bit weird on fitment at the shop. Laying back a bit too far. There was about an inch they could have gone forward but not sure that will make a big difference. I was all set to get me one but honestly I was a bit dissapointed. The cramped riding position was the biggest issue, maybe its just my riding style. Im only a little fucker at 5,9.......
