Thanks for the welcome, everyone!
I went and did a test ride today at the dealer. Very nice ride! The only thing is I need to get used to the clutch play. I ended up stalling it 3 times before getting out of the parking lot. Lets hope nobody witnessed that...
But, I still think I will end up getting the bike. I just have one reservation so far. I have very little time in the seat and start getting nervous when I get some speed. I'm guessing that a lot of people go through this when they first start out and that it will pass with more time in the saddle.
