Some initial impressions:
I was most interested in the low-speed handling, of course. Such as maneuvering in a parking lot, u-turns, etc. The bike turns a slightly larger radius than an NT, but the weight increase over the NT was barely noticeable. Perfectly fine. I'm happy.
The compartment on the left side of the fairing won't be holding much. It has a switched accessory plug mounted in there. Actually using it takes up a lot of what little room there is. Not a big deal. Anyhow, I fabricated an access plug to SAE lead, plugged it in (running the wire through a rubber flange present in the bottom of the compartment) and hooked it up to my GPS, which I retained from my previous bikes. The compartment, by the way, unlocks when the power is on. Handy but tiny. There is no compartment on the right, which leads me to:
The battery is in the front fairing up on the right side. But they've actually made it tricky to get to, requiring removal of more tupperware than I would have though necessary. Now this isn't something you do every day, so no big deal. However, I may consider trying out a Shorai replacement (again). The reason is that the 7+ pound weight saving is pretty high up on the bike, essentially level with the fuel.
The touring vs sport setting is eye-opening. There's a region of operation (lower RPM) when set in T mode, that, as you accelerate, it can actually feel a bit doggy. S mode can feel like JATO has kicked in, relative to the NT. But overall the throttle-by-wire approach produces a very manageable power control system.
Windshield is being replaced. Stock is super noisy. Enough said.
Riding position is OK, but I'll eventually wind up going to Helibars, I expect. They have a solution kind of like the NT for it. There is a miniscule amount of adjustment available for the stock bars, obtained by a method not contained in the owner's manual. But the internet, being the repository of all that is known to humankind, revealed the method. Seat height is similar to the NT, but the bike is a little wider and so it inhibits leg movement a bit more when wrestling it back out onto, say, my gravel driveway.
Speaking of the owner's manual, it generally contains the information one expects but it is so cheaply manufactured I actually expect it to wear out in a few years. If you follow the maintenance tasks religiously, you'll be in the shop every 4,000 miles. And not just for oil changes, but checking the synchronization of the fuel injection. I'm guessing this stuff is done much more rarely than this.
Suspension is very nice.
My Hippo Hands will fit on the bike, but I'll hold off on that. There are many switches and buttons with which I am not yet familiar and wouldn't want to try to operate without seeing.
