About 4K miles now Clifton.
I bought it last August but due to Covid and various lockdowns I haven’t had the opportunity to use it much until now.
Good for you that's almost double what I have.

Okay. I'll play.
1) Very comfortable (for me) with 300-350 mile days easily possible. The ergonomics are just spot on.
2) Smooth and linear engine which picks up sweetly from tick-over particularly in the first few gears which is perfect when off road.
3) No over complicated tech. One push button to disable the abs and off you go.
4) Well proven and generally bulletproof Yamaha engine reliability.
5) Lowish cost to purchase compared to other competitors.
6) Feels very light and flickable to ride.
7) Looks!!!

I believe you'll enjoy it. Any thoughts on farkles for it yet?
If you ride it a good bit on the road as I do (sitting) you might appreciate a more comfortable seat. For shorter rides and off road riding the stock works fine. Initially I felt the suspension was too harsh but after reducing the damping and getting 1,000 miles or so on it, it settled down nicely. At 190# I was barely able to set the sag by using max preload so I went the next size stiffer spring which really improved the ride.
that's my plan. i didn't like the seat but i will try a "cool cover" first before spending ay major money
suspension id say will need springs but that be well into future until have good bit riding on it
for moment ill do few protection items in case of falls or drops
85Nm or 90Nm rear spring
