Welcome to the Forum Community and to RS Ownership. That is a nice machine indeed ... nice colour. Was this pre-owned and if so how many miles on the clock?
You got this for the right reasons wanted something sporty but capable of touring but not as bulky / heavy as the FJR. I got a chuckle when you noted the startup ... that is part of the character of the thing and I believe mine starts with a snort (or is that a fart) and that usually brings smile to my face if I haven't ridden it in a while. This bike has character in spades but you will really love it after you have done a really long day in the saddle.
Anyway, I am sure that you will enjoy this bike for a long time to come and look forward to your posts.
