Congrats on the new bike and welcome to the two wheel life. Be prepared to go through that bike when you get it. You will want 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, and 17mm wrenches, sockets, and 1 or 2 extensions for said sockets.

No problem. I forgot to mention that a couple of Phillips screwdrivers as well, one of them at least a 0 or 1 size (bigger) for the body panel screws/ Ideally, you would want to get some JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) for a couple of the screws, but being new it shouldn't be a problem to use SAE, just make sure to be gentle/careful so you don't strip the heads out - mainly on the brake master cylinder screws if you decide to bleed the brakes.
