I can also give you a little more opinion on the bike now, after having ridden it a little more (I haven't owned mine for very long) ... it's a great handling bike, it's so easy to throw around it's almost like you're riding a bicycle. However, I'm not finding it to be too good on the highway ... I'm 6'1", and the fairing doesn't do much for the wind. I've had completely un-faired bikes that were quieter/smoother on the highway ... and it gets tossed around by crosswinds and such.

I'd say it'd be non-intimidating to learn on, a good city bike and a great back-road scratcher. Not so good for any kind of touring.
