Mine felt a lot more like a man's bike you had to tell where to go when it had tired Metzeler tires on it, by the way. It wouldn't hold a clean line in the twisties, it started vibrating when I let go of the bars and in general was way too much of a man's bike.New Avons on there and boy howdy it handled. Since yours is a 2012, even though you say "new" maybe you meant "new to me", if so look at the condition of the tires. And then buy Avon Cobras. With whitewalls. The V-rated radials. :-D
Thanks for the heads up. Yes it is new to me
