What's the engine power of the AT really like (genuine question)? Does it feel quick or is it more cruiser like?

The mudguard failure isn't unusual. The Tiger does it, the KTMs do it to unless you put in a bracket to raise it an inch. If you don't and ride clay or mud or wet sand it clogs up and cracks the bracket. Stupid design to be quite honest and they're all to blame for it, it's not a specific Honda problem.
