Kawa Afterthought
I don't see much in the way of comments on the new F 750 here so wonder if sales are not going too well for the model. As a former 700 owner with a good mileage (62000) on a previous 13 vintage year, I'm considering going back to one once I tire of my Yamaha Super 10 due to weight. One new thing I noticed on the 750 and 850 is a steering dampener on the front forks and wonder if its in response to others experiencing tank slap while riding. On my previous model, I experienced severe tank slap twice while riding on gravel that turned into deep sand without a moments notice while tooling along at about 45 MPH. Almost lost it twice, but by the third time I was ready and anticipating the possibility so wasn't completely surprised when it happened. So, for any new 750 0r 850 riders out there, do you notice the dampener much and to any current 700 owners, have you experienced similar difficulty riding into deep sand or gravel with the bike? I'd appreciate any observations you may have on the topic.
