Great review and very nice bike. I just got 5,000 KMS (3100 miles) on my SE and it's been fantastic. It's super light, easy to flick around and fun to ride. Couple of upgrades i've done is: Quadlock wireless charger, tail tidy and Akra slip on. PS: If you shift in the 8,000 RPM range ( it's power band ) you'll basically unlock it's potential.
