Lucky sod, just remember to take it steady when you first ride it or you could end up doing this:

Hope you had a great time & let us know first impressions & comparison as well lots lots of gratuitously shiny bike pics.

Well, all tucked up now but an epic ride home. Feels better mid range than my 2010 model and feels more comfortable to ride. Heated grips and cruise control were a godsend as was quite cold and a fair bit of motorway on the way home.
The amount of techno on the dash/bike is mind blowing and will take some time to work out !!
Will get some piccies up soon.

Wow,lots of valid comments above. Personally, this is my 3rd S1k and by far the best one I have ridden. I have only managed a couple of hundred miles on it so far but I can tell you it is an amazing piece of machinery. can't wait to get the 1st service out of the way as it limited to 9k rpm until then.I consider myself a fair rider and do participate in a good few track days every year, (this bike is going to portimao in April for 4 days) I'm lucky enough to have a ducati diavel and a repsol fireblade to play with.
I know this bike is not to everyone's taste, but I happen to think it is one of the best sports bikes out there right now.

Love it OP.

Do they really pop & bang with the standard exhaust on overun? I think they've even managed to make the standard exhaust good looking compared to the recent monstrosities that have been sprung out recently.

definitely. Mine would be a black one.

Yes it does, and quite loud. I've always gone for akrapovic systems on my bikes but will NOT be changing this one !!!!
