I went out yesterday for my first proper ride out, about 175 mls. 8degC. Some observations.
Heated grips work OK through Grip Puppies. Hand guards sit a bit further away than the GS, I think it reduces their effectiveness.
About 150mls till 'reserve'. I think the mpg will be about the same as the GS, 54mpg overall average.
I run the suspension on No.2, a bit bouncy, but doesn't get out of control. No.1 just firms it up nicely. Custom is the same settings as street but with sport throttle.
OE tyres grip well, but are a bit wooden, they may feel a bit different when the weather warms up.
I bought a GT seat to have it reshaped a bit to help my little legs get nearer the ground, at the moment I find it comfy enough. My bladder will dictate the time between stops.
I have fitted EBC pads, They have more bite and require less finger pull.
The screen is fine on the high setting, I can sit at 100mph no problem low is awful. I am only 5'6".
The engine is a peach, plenty fast enough. The proper test will be in the begining of June when I go with the boys to Spain/Portugal on their big bikes 1290 adv's, S1000r, ZX10, Super Duke etc. I don't expect a problem.
Luggage wise will be SW-Motech City Pro tank bag and a 50ltr Aqua rollbag from Oxford sitting on the rear seat and a GIVI topbox plate.
I have also fitted GIVI engine bars.
All in all a happy bunny.
