Picking up 2012 xtx on Friday. Can't wait

Took the demo xtx out at the weekend and loved it, so couldn't wait to get me hands on one. Previously only ever had sports bikes, last being a cbr600rr which was great fun but found them far too quick for me to enjoy.
If there's anyone around the Kent area that fancys going for a ride then give me a message.
Also if there's any problems I should be looking out for or advise for the xt's, then I'm all ears
Cheers ollie

Hi mate. I was the same, spent all my days with sports bikes and only changed to the XTX last year.

You'll enjoy the comfort more than anything. Oh yeah, and having a turning circle again lol
