No, not happy.......I'm ecstatic......
random order as I think about it:
Light weight feel, still lots of get up and go IF you need/want it.
Found out 2 days ago, it is good in the rain. Had a gully washer with 30mph gusts and it handled it well.
Still having the short OEM shield, I was still able to ride with one hand while protecting my mouth/nose with my left hand.
Worst thing to me is the DOT requirement of the stalk signals and mirror signals instead of the integrated units. 16" requirement between signals.
The odd ball oil filter can be a problem as you will definitely have to order it.
The owners manual is half joke. Wrong dash and operating procedures for the instruments in the manual.
I have a short inseam (28"), so the height is a challenge, but I'm adapting.
I like the sound, performance, mileage, & looks. The ride is smoother than my CTX1300 on the same roads, but no where as nice as my old Gold Wings.
I started out at about 62 mpg and since break-in service it is about 66 mpg(66.8 on the last fuel up). OF course that is indicated.
I need a longer trip to verify, but a short 32 mile trip indicates that should be 64.2 mpg. That was using the GPS on my phone as the initial check.
According the phone GPS, my 32 miles was 30.8 approx. My speed at indicated 43, was 41. I'll use my Garmin later for more validating.
I also don't like how the luggage rack on the rear has the bracket come down to attach to the tag mount. Aesthetic, but still a peeve of mine.
I do not like the red strip across the seat. No, it doesn't hurt anything and not noticeable when riding, but I like to de-badge everything and it is just one of those burr under the saddle(figuratively) things for me.
I don't know for sure if it is because I'm getting older and thus more careful, but this is the first bike I've not drug hard parts while taking sharp curves in my riding area.
Also 2 days ago, I noticed a very small clanking sound as I slowed down to turn. I heard it 3 times. I was stopping and checking everything to makes sure nothing was coming loose. After 2 hours, I realized it was just the brake levers. Now that I know what it was, I don't hear it any more....yeah, you know what I mean.
Grated bridges, twisties up/down hill, and tar/gravel roads are handled fine (daily ride for me).

So, as you can see, the dislikes are not a problem any more than a color choice would be. All the things that matter are really good.
Ask something else specific and I'll answer if I can......
