SDR1290R noob

Hello, I picked up a leftover '15 SDR about a month and a half ago for a solid price and I've been lurking here for that period. Coming from an 04 ZX10R (fastest green) that I've had for 7 years now I think, and before that a 01 YZF600 (Thundercat) that had 2nd gear issues that my friend and I rebuilt and I rattle canned it flat black. Looking forward to putting a shitton of miles on this bike. So far I've done nearly 1000 miles including a short trip. The seating position is SO much better than the Ninja, it makes a bit more HP, and gobs more torque. I thought the ninja liked to wheelie, but it doesn't hold a candle to this bike.

So Far I've thrown the PP Seat, the PP ADV handguards, ASV shorties, ERMAX screen on the bike. I Also got the Akra slip-on during the promotion. Just snagged kevxtxs speedo correction ABS rings. Next up is engine protection and more riding. I like how the handguards make it look like an over sized motard. Windscreen serves its purpose and is pretty easy to remove.

Welcome! Post some pictures please. I put some heated grips on mine (they work great) and have some hand guards on the way.
