Talking I feel like a virgin

I've finally gotten to ride my 675 a little, I got it back in November, had it dor a couple of weeks then it was damaged in a parking lot accident. I finally got it back a couple weeks ago and rode it to work yesterday and today.

It feels so different from my Sprint ST it's like I'm learning how to ride all over again. The biggest difference I've noticed is when turning it really wants to turn. I'll turn into a corner like I normally would and have to correct my line because I'm way inside where I intended to be.

Obviuosly another difference is the seating position. I've got to think about grabbing the tank with my knees and keeping the weight off my wrists. I keep hitting small bumps which cause my throttle hand to blip the throttle making the whole bike lerch.

I love this bike but it's so not what I'm used to. I'm wondering it it will be strange switching back and forth between the 675 and the sprint. anybody have any experience with this?

Anyway I just thought I'd share some observations. I'm not a virgin on the 675 anymore but I sure have a lot to learn.
