I have had two shoulder surgeries (wrestling/grappling related injuries) and 5 minutes into my demo ride could not wait to get back on my SM. I can see why others like the bike, but years of grappling have ruled any bike with a forward lean out of consideration.
Postitives about the bike:
1) engine is VERY responsive.
2) Very agile bike. Would be great in urban traffic and a blast in the twisties
Negatives:
1) the lean. My shoulders just could nto take it. Maybe another 6-12 more months of healing from my latest surgery will fix it and i'll try again.
my 2 cents.
