Took the bike to work today for the first time and I'm starting to get used to the bike's weight. I also noticed the RPM is too low on this bike. Wished Honda raised the RPM higher because the redline approaches too fast in gears 1st-4th. That or I seriously need to slow down. I can't help myself but twist the **** out of the throttle. The bike is so much fun!
I'm also starting to notice little things about the bike that Honda could have definitely improved on.

I'm also starting to notice little things about the bike that Honda could have definitely improved on.
Cons:
- The backlight on the gauge cluster needs to be brighter
- Windscreen design could be better but you guys already knew this
- The suspension is soft
- Wished Honda added those little side extenders on the kickstand to help swing the kickstand up/down for us short peeps
- Rear brake lever sucks! Stopped at an uphill I have to make a real effort on pressing down on the rear brake
- My stock exhaust backfires from time to time (will place an order for aftermarket exhaust this weekend & power commander)
- Front brakes aren't all that great (will have to upgrade brake lines, pad, and MC)
- Again, front tires wobbles on highway @ 75-95mph (starting to think it's not the tires but the front in general--it's too light)
- My rear end says the seat sucks (will see if I can replace foam with gel insert)
- Throttle has too much slack (will adjust this weekend)
Pros:
- The bike looks so awesome!
- The bike is so much fun to ride!
- The bike is deceivingly fast!
- The bike attracts all eyes on the road!
- The bike feels small even for someone as short as me!
- The bike is perfect for me!
