Well I just wrote a massive reply/review and the forum decided to delete it - NOT HAPPY...
I picked it up Saturday and have ridden it about 300 miles in total as went to Camberley to meet my brother and his new XJR1300 for a nice long ride.
Things I love
The power - feels awesome especially the top end - big grin every time I give it the beans! and it doesn't feel that lacking at the bottom end
The brakes - feel far far more powerful than the ones I had on my FZS600 - really pull the bike up and ABS is a bonus
The handling - pleasently surprised by how well it handles! its not that far off my old FZS600 (just if you try really going for it you feel the difference)
The clocks - Love the start up sequence and also the layout
The engine noise - It sounds amazing even with the standard exhaust - my old 600 with standard exhaust sounded really quite... rubbish
Things dont like quite so much
Fairing buzz around 2-3 and 4-5k rpm - this is annoying but found some fixes will try from FZ1OA
Vibey feel - makes hands go numb after a long run! esp with thinner summer gloves
Lack of underseat storage! lol
The Tank range - or lack of
although I knew about this before I bought it
