Well I have had my Stella about 24hrs....love it so far. I have put 100 miles on it so far. Hoping to do first service on Saturday. My only complaint is that my wrist is killing me. I am not use to shifting.

Anyone else have the sore wrist problem and does it go away?

I had the sore wrist off and on for a bit.

I just turned over 1600 miles tonight and it gets sweeter everyday.

Congrats!

Any trouble adjusting to using a foot brake?

No trouble for me.

It felt really natural. Sort of like driving a cage.

It's easy to adjust, but it's pretty hard to switch back and forth if you have multiple bikes.

The scary part is that you're more likely to mess up when you're in a panic situation. I rode shifters forever, and I've caught myself trying to clutch-in on the Blur a few times, that's scarier than stomping on a rear brake pedal that's not there.

amen. I hate riding my elite for that reason.

I pulled hard on the clutch of a my wife's Buddy the other day because a car pulled out in front of me. I only pulled for a split second before I realized it was a brake but still got pulled off the seat. Very scary moment. I put about 1,000 miles on the Buddy before I got the Stella and it still takes a little getting used to when I switch between the two. It's strange that this didn't happen when I was switching between my motorcyle and the Buddy.

i think they MC and the Buddy are different enough, in size, weight, riding position, etc... that your body and mind can more easily separate the two.

When I ride MC's I always forget to shift with my foot not my hand.

I love that Honda, rode them in Southeast Asia, went to buy one last week but it was hot.

yes...the wrist was definitely sore for about a week and a half. now it feels like the clutch is nothing.
