I think you're the first one here with that bike. Be sure to let us know how much you like it.

She wasn't cheap, Full MSRP + TTL.

Paying $250/month but I'm only financing it because I've never really financed anything before.

It should be paid off in less than 1 year.

It rides like a dream though, coming from my SV it's not quite like night and day but almost.

It's torture though not being able to hit anything over 5,000 RPM. I did get on it a little bit and its very smooth. If it wasn't raining out I'd still be out riding but new tires+ rain=no good.

I highly suggest one, everyone says they're tough to ride on the street but it's almost as easy as the SV.

When I hit the first service I'll change the factory suspension settings, a little rough for my "O Ring".

Just curious... why are you going to wait until you hit the first service?

With all new bikes the suspension is going to be a little stiff at first and will adjust as you ride it. Also most dealers and pros recommend adjusting the suspension @ first service. Right now it's a little rough but it should loosen a bit between now & 500.
