Previous ride:
2008 Kawi Ninja 650R. I put about 10,000 miles on it tearing around the coast of California.
Overall, I'm enjoying the new ride. The cruiser position seemed a little uncomfortable at first, but I'm getting used to it. Adding the flyscreen to block the windblast from my chest made it far better - I don't have to keep a hard grip on the bars all the time - Above 65 mph, it felt like water-skiing, holding onto the bars tightly to brace myself against the wind.
Also getting used to the very limited lean angle. First time through the twisties I sounded like Gene Kelly tap-dancing with my pegs! I guess I'll have to be a little more creative with the body english to keep the bike more upright!
These things really stand out at bike nights. I feel like I have a sign on it that says "Hey old guys! Come tell me about the Bonnie you bought in 67." used to ride!
