It's a 2012,... 4.5 gallon tank... and the seat is heaven...
No stock seat better... I rode a 883 previous to this, and the seat felt like telephone pole.... This has decent cushion... you can scoot fore and aft, side to side, and still feel comfort (I'm squirmy)...
I wouldn't mind a bit more rear shock... and the wide bars will take some getting used to...
She tracks good, and wind has no effect on her... (I was hitting 20-30mph gusts on mountain curves today)...
550lbs is only felt backing up from parking....
You feel very compact on the road...
Ground clearance is minimal.... (I have to tackle my driveway curb at an angle)... otherwise, okay... ( I've heard reports of peg scraping easily,... but, I'm fairly good about leaning)...
I've been gentle on the power,... but the launch feels mellow compared to my Savage... I gunned a 1-2 shift and had to grip the bars to hang on... it has some grunt...
I do think she's a grand lady.... but, my Savage still has my heart...
...(keep in mind, my Savage has a bit more "shock and awe" than stock)...
No drips... so far...

PS... Gerry, is moving on to a trike... (this last crash has taken it's toll... one more wheel in store for a near 1,000,000 mile vet)...
You've never seen a guy so ready to get back in the wind...
