welcome to the wonderful world of the fine triple powered machine.
I've had my T'bird sport for a couple of years - it is, in direct straight line terms slower than some lighter Japanese bikes but goes around corners underneath them!
Biggest thing I had to learn (again) was you cant be braking at all when leaning - she sits right up and goes for the hedge (UK) but do all your braking first then ride the torque (see keith code twist of the wrist) with practice this bike makes a better rider.....
Oh and it looks like the mutt's nuts
Hey guys I'm going to the Factory in November ! Yippee!
