Not that I'm crazily hooning about with only one wheel on the ground, but I am definitely faster on this bike than my old S. Only 400 miles and chicken strips are nearly gone.
I LOVE this bike.
BTW, did you guys see this article regarding motorcycling on msn?

Sad to see the Northeast not at all represented.
