The throttle is a little different than the electronic one on the baggers but not much. The main thing I noticed it I have to twist it off. It was like I was on cruise holding on today and had to make an effort to let off the throttle.
Congrats, congrats, congrats! As far as the throttle is concerned, make sure the throttle lock - thumb screw is backed all the way off. You probably already know that but having to turn it to close isn't right and you'll want to get it looked at if you can't easily correct it.

Great scoot to cruise on. But it's no touring bike. But if we all wanted to tour instead of cruise we being in the touring section. Samcro will want to draft you, now.

No I did not know that. Wanted to look through the manual last night but did not get to. I'll check that out first thing tonight.

Thanks for the heads up.
