First impressions:
Fast but very drivable. Push only happens at very high speeds in corners and is very gradual, throttle takes care of it easily.
Has been forgiving of my novice errors such as unloading the throttle in a tight corner.
Cruises at 70 in either 4th or 5th effortlessly. Acceleration to 100MPH (4th) seems very good.
