Not so good - Original exhaust has a tendency to disintegrate at the collector. Even if kept dry they can still rot from the inside due to condensate from exhaust gases. When it needs changing you may also find the exhaust studs can disintegrate too. This can be a substantial (and costly) ball ache. I'm tempted to advise you to remove the nuts and replace with brass ones, as hopefully when the time comes to change the exhaust they will come off easily without the studs snapping. However don't attempt this until you have read some of the threads about it.
Other than that, almost everything about this bike is good. Congratulations on your purchase. It will bring you years of enjoyable motorcycling. Not sure what to say about the idle though, not something I've ever had a problem with.
