Unfortunately, just because the Honda shop set up a brand new bike doesn't mean they got it right. I remember reading in this forum that it is common to have to loosen the banjo fitting right by the master cylinder to get all of the air out.

Good observation, I just bled my brakes and clutch and my shifting is much smoother. Never count on the dealer to set up bikes correctly! I used to work as a setup tech, I should know 
Also, I noticed a huge improvement when I adjusted the shifter down a couple notches, and new oil always makes a noticeable difference.
