Bar mounted dash? Hmmm that was my intention to do with a SD when I got one anyway,. Peak HP is moved up almost 1000rpm but peak torque is lowered by a similar amount. New style side blades are ugly as sin IMO,ckme wat too far forward. Will be interesting to see a perfect side on shot, mound also have liked to see the hugger mounted plate thing as seen on the husky 1301 transfer over but chances are it'll feature in the lower parts and if not just transfer over anyway as the swingarm is shared. Wind blast will surely be worse, having never ridden a 1290 I can't say if that'll be an issue or not but I know 80+ on my street triple is hard work after a few miles. Cornering abs but no mention of being able to customise wheelie/traction/abs more finely as possible in most competitors
