My new 1351 Conv

cmg4511 · 02-07-2009, 01:08 AM

Picked it up last week so have had the last 7 days to get familiar with it.Main observations so far:
- awesome grunt from just off idle and in the mid-range - quite addictive!
- top end rush is almost scary (can't imagine anybody really needing anymore)
- rides batter than I expected
- steering is very well weighted and precise
- even with the electric seats which adjust every which way, am yet to find a really comfortable seating position
- throttle control in stop start driving is sometimes a bit awkward to regulate smoothly

Some pictures:
