Thanks guys. I got my plates this morning and took her out for a spin. The first ride was great. This bike is extremely easy to ride.

Of interest: When I tried to fire the bike up for the first time, it was in 1st and I had the clutch all the way in - however, when I hit the starter motor, the bike lurched forward. Not cool. I put it in neutral and the bike fired right up with no issue. i was a little concerned about trying to put it into 1st with the motor on after that experience, but it worked fine - the clutch seems to be working. I have turned the bike on and off several times and have not been able to replicate the problem.

While riding, the bike seems to not like going into 3rd, but I imagine this will smooth out over time.

Despite the above, I am really impressed with the bike and how it rides. Now I just have to get through the first 500 miles so I can run it up over 5k!
