Just sounds a bit like you're rolling off a bit too quickly in the low gears...possibly just the engine braking being really quick in 1st gear that it feels like lurching.
Do 50mph in 6th gear, roll off the throttle quickly and see if it lurches...i bet it doesnt.
It can be tricky at first trying to get used to the fine control on a bigger bike and learning to use the clutch much more in the first 2 gears as oppose to when driving a car and the extra weight of a bigger bike at lower speeds probably needs more clutching if you're slow moving in a que coming up to a roundabout stop/start type stuff.....prob just squeeze the clutch in a little as you're backing off the throttle in 1st.
Your carbs may also needing a carb balance to make them nice and smooth and you'll notice this more in the lower gears and then add that to you getting used to the bike and it will magnify

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
