    I have not ridden one, only had the old 998S and 999 but I would imagine they are pretty nimble on the twisties and have the usual grunt on acceleration. Pretty sure you will have lots of fun on it. Looks great as well.

    looks the ticket, summer will be fun.
    mine was even quicker in the corners after fitting some pilot pures
    but one thing you definitely need is a steering damper as you will
    get throttle happy in bends and a duke can bike you back sometimes.
    I actually enjoyed the odd head shake,made you feel like you were putting
    a little effort into your ride.

    That v bit bolts onto the bracket at the bottom right of the master cylinder
    Then the rod of the brake bolts onto it

    because they dont really make much difference.
