Thinking of buying the S2

Hi all, I’m based in Melbourne, Australia and am keen to buy the S2 but it’s over $5,500 AU and I wouldn’t be able to get a test ride in because the dealer is in another state. I really like the bike and the reviews sound awesome but is it crazy to spent that money without a ride first?

Did any of you buy it just based off reviews/ website visits? Were any of you disappointed with the reality versus the fantasy?
