Just bought a new 2010 RS yesterday on somewhat of a whim. Sold my 109R last spring and have been without a bike. Went in to just kill a little time and... Anyhow, got a little over 100 miles on it so far and am enjoying it so far! Wish I'd found this place earlier and did a little research before I did the impulse thing, I'd have been a little more prepared
Here's my initial observations, if anyone can provide input guidance to make the experience great I'd appreciate it
First of all I'm definitely digging it, going to be a bit longer before I instinctively stop reaching for the clutch/front brake
- After the first 30 miles I discovered the hot foot issue, already ordered the goods to get that solved.
- The exhaust makes me feel like I'm riding a four wheeler... Will need to make some adjustments here, any input? (my 109R had hard chrome 2-1 and was loud, not looking for that, something a bit more refined perhaps)
- Seems kind of slow from a standing stop, is that normal?
- Getting a squeal (brake?) on downshift between 3000 and 2000 rpm. Plan to take it in to have it looked at. Any thoughts/ideas?
- It came a with some accessories I don't necessarily want/need. Would these be easy to sell?
* Air deflectors/dam that sit directly under the windshield
* Rigid removable saddlebags

So this was an "impulse buy??" Nice! 
If I ever got myself that "impulsed", my Missus would kick the ideas out of me....
