One can only hope that RE has the sense to fully break in and sort out whatever test bikes they hand off to the media for thrashing. It's pretty clear from some earlier reviews I've seen that they don't always take the trouble to put their best foot forward. At least just let an intern run it around a track for a week or so, change the oil, and take a torque wrench and a few drops of Loctite to it before tossing it to the wolves.
Hell, I'm retired, with plenty of time on my hands. Toss one of those twins into a U-Haul, bring it on down and roll it quietly into my garage down here in Virginia, and I'd be happy to sneak her out and put a thousand mild miles on her on the back roads down here, and mum's the word. Noone will ever know. Happy to help.
