My first brand new bike...new addition to the stable.

I started riding in 1983, and have ridden most of that time. I've never had a brand new motorcycle. With my S4Rs getting some maintenance done and some pretty cosmetic touches done, I'm without a bike for a bit. After some thought and much research, I pulled the trigger. I think I got a great deal.
My hope is that it will really enhance my enjoyment of riding. I love my S4Rs and will be keeping it, but even with my extensive tweaks and mods, it's not especially enjoyable for me to ride for more than a couple hours at a time. This will give me something for longer trips without utterly sacrificing all sporting ability. And I'm excited about the ABS and shaft drive.
I pick her up in the morning. Hopefully if I ever have to pick her up again after that I'll have the help of some passersby.

No doubt! I'm pretty broke after getting the bike...gonna sell a guitar or two and do a few tweaks. Slip-on is first on the list.
