finally after 6 months of wait I got my Full Throttle today. Went for a short ride, here are my initial thoughts.
Pros:
1. Goes great, very easy to ride
2. Great balance
3. Very easy to ride
4. Looks incredibly cool
5. Storage under the seat is great to keep small stuff and a disc lock

Cons
1.Throttle is really quick, you have to be carefull otherwise it will bite you.
2. Hard to find N
3. The heat from the engine is high in sitting traffic, I don't know what it'll be like in the summer.

Well after 30km thats all I got.
I'll do a more extended one after I ride it a bit more.

Congrats on your new bike! I agree about the throttle, sometimes it's tricky to get neutral but usually no probs, yes it does get hot when you are stationary and I wouldn't fancy sitting for ages in high temps! But all in all I love it :D

Its like shoei made the helmet just for this bike :)
How do you like the handlebars? BTW: I just got my Icon and felt a good amount of heat coming up from the engine under the front center of the seat. I thought the high termi exhaust would get hot but it didn't. I think this bike will get hot in summer traffic, but I guess they all do to some extent.

I like them just fine, I'm 6' so the lower handle bars are quite comfortable for me.
Did you have to do anything to re route the clutch cable?

Nope, didn't touch anything yet.
