Test rode an 1800 F today, and was very impressed. One question though, as I accelerated fairly hard from about 55 to 80 in 5th gear. The bike pulled good, but I was getting a lot of vibration back through the bars. Once I reached speed and just cruised the bike was very smooth.

I would have thought that I was lugging it, but it accelerated so good I don't think that was the problem.

Is this a normal vibration under these circumstances?

Thanks for any help.

yeh my X doesnt liek to be in 5th gear under 60, I normally shift into 5th around 65, unless I really feel like getting on it, then Im just getting into 4th around 65 -70.

You were getting a lot of vibration because you were lugging it.
It accelerated good because of all the torque they have.
You should have back shifted and then help on.
