Congratulations!
I got mine last Friday (from the same dealer, $1600), one week for the delivery (right inside my garage).
I have the orange model (no other choice at the time I ordered) with digital speedometer.
Make sure to use ethanol free gas only.
Change the original oil after 30mn run (replace with NON synthetic oil), you can use synthetic oil after few months of use when the engine is broken in.
I replaced the headlight bulb with 25W 5 point LED (less load on the battery and brighter light).
It's a great bike, I find the gear a little too short, I may put a bigger front socket in few weeks.
At first I wanted the disk rear break but I think the drum is better (the version with rear disk break made the bike ground clearance lower).
Check ALL THE BOLTS, I found few loose bolts on my bike.
I also added a Garmin nivi 55LM GPS, right on the handle bar, in the middle.
I take it around the block for breaking in, be sure not to go on busy streets or far away from your home until you have insurance and licence plate.
