New ES Owner, Initial Impression Report

[DocFJR]

I usually leave it in sport mode mostly because I drove an unmodified '06 FJR throttle for 10 years. While I got used to its "light switch" off idle throttle, and absolutely loved the bike, my current '14ES in sport mode feels extremely controllable in comparison.

I can really tell the difference between T and S modes riding two up. One bad shift and my wife reminds me to put it back in T. Always ride in S one up. That's why I bought the bike, OH and its red!!!
