But didn't push on 20-25 mph curves due to slick new tires, 40 mph crosswind gusts and extreme cold.... Don't see much difference in the ride modes, honestly. In fact, I think I prefer "road" to dynamic and dynamic pro.

Well done.

If you're following the owner's manual for the break-in period and keeping things under 5K RPM, it might be difficult to notice any difference among the engine modes. (I'll simply note that the tiny wheelies and rear wheel slides in dynamic make me feel like a better rider than I am. They are not available in Road or Rain modes.)

(If you're a "spirited" rider, you might want to keep it in rain mode for your break-in.)

Many happy returns.
