And how is it?

A good question. So far so good. I picked it up yesterday afternoon. I did 50 miles on the way home before my hands got very cold. It rides very smoothly and pulls well from low down. I'm limited to 4K revs right now, but it gets there quickly. The low down torque suits me, but early days and I need to get a few hundred miles under my belt before I open the throttle a bit more. It also looks cool, at least to me.

My American Vance & Hines slip ons arrived today. Look nice, but pricey mind. Comes with a free ecu update from team Roberts when I've fitted them. That's my only comment as such the bikes are too quiet, otherwise I love it so far.

Fitted them and they sound nice. Not got circlip pliers yet to get baffles out but a definite aural improvement over oe

this is mine, I love it! Most surprising thing for me is just how well it handles - not sure if its due to the quality suspension or the relatively slim (160) rear tyre but it is very confidence inspiring in the corners.
