Good choice, as I said before it's the one I'd go for from those you looked at.

Culture shock!!! it'll take time

Blimey the sidestand didn't flick up bonus

Gearbox isn't as nice (probably down to me riding a twin for so long )

No engine braking (that caught me out first ride )

Haven't revved it over 5000 yet (riding it like a twin still )

Everyone i've seen including non bikers at work love it
