I've just got it to 103 miles. So far I've only been able to get it to 50 mph though. It feels really stable to me (although I have no basis for comparison). I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for the comments.

What a weekend. I took the bike to Orlando Harley for their bike week event, then today I put another 85 miles on it. So now I've got another 238 miles before I can take it over 4000 RPM (this break in is killing me). So far the bike is great and it's comfortable to ride for long periods of time.

I see you live in Kissimmee. There is a Cycle Gear in Orlando. It's on E. Colonial Drive. I know this because I just found it on their website.

They are a pretty good place to get gear.

Oh and welcome to the asylum.

Now the bike has made it over 500 miles and I can take it to 6,000 RPM. It can reach 75 mph really quickly going through the gears. The only tragedy that has happened so far was dropping the bike. It damaged the clutch handle, the peg and bank sensor, as well as scratching the black faring. All told it's over $400 in damage. I'm going to hold off on fixing the cosmetic stuff until I've become more comfortable with it. If anyone knows where I can get frame sliders for this bike I would appreciate it. Also if anyone knows where I could mount them it would be helpful.

Congrats on the new bike purchase. I have never seen one of those bikes, it's cool looking, reminds me of a Buell with the low center exhaust. Have Fun and stay safe. I hope you weren't moving when you dropped the bike.

Nope, I was in a parking spot, getting off the bike and it went down. I think either I missed the kick stand and thought it was down, or I got it down half way and it sprung back up.
