Doh! Why I sold my Versys 300X & RX3

I agree with you 100%!
Before I could cross an intersection, when starting from a dead stop, I’d be at 10,000rpms or more! Too much noise & vibrations! And cruising the highway is not what the 300X was made for. It’s basically a good dirt trail bike with a hard seat!
