Well... I have my 2020 GT and I'm very aware that any drop even stopped, will have consequences. In fact was the first thing that asked at the dealer when first saw the bike, but nevertheless, refraining from buying this amazing bike just for that in some way is just like avoiding life or living the best of it just for the risk of dying or to hide from suffering. Motorcycling is an inherently risky activity... are we going to quit riding at all to avoid the risk of an accident? Anyway, I respect anyone's choices and if someone prefers to deny himself all the great things that this bike offers facing the risk of eventually dropping it, it's his call... ride safe!
 
That would a very bad and sad day.
 
 
The bike weighs 640 and you guys are worried about dropping it? I'm used to Harleys and have bought a new rocket recently and I thought it felt really light as far as rolling it around. I have also heard others talk about how tricky they are to corner at slow speeds. I dont want to sound like a conceited jerk, but I think someone should have started with a smaller/lighter bike.
 
I have no issues with it, but it's ~712 lbs with a full tank. Nothing wrong with wanting to protect your investment, because **** does indeed happen.
