Finally got my standard 1199 on Friday.. and loving it since!
The dealer didn't care much about the break-in rules and said drive it
like you'd nomally would in the streets and keep the rear wheel on ground. Suspension came pre-adjusted to Progressive (P) setting. I asked about getting it dyno'ed and he mentioned that best results will be after engine break in, which is around 1000 miles. Not after the first service!
It ended up being $19700 otd, it is all stock.. comfort seat and 3M protection kit on order.
Pros
- power deliver, initially had it set on sport mode, but then changed to race mode with DTC set to 5. I preferred the instant power deliver more the smooth option.
- this thing sounds amazing! It ROARS when you give it motivation with the throttle, especially after around 7k rpms (couldn't help myself from breaking the break-in rules)
- very easy to handle
- love the design and appearance, I find myself staring at it at times
- bumps and potholes are manageable with suspension set on P
- Quickshifter and the pop with it are great, no false neutrals yet
- keep wanting to get back on it
Cons
- HEAT!!! It is quite noticeable with jeans, and Definitely can't ride it with shorts (I got some light burns on both thighs after only a 20 min ride)
- Stock seat is HARD! Ordered a comfort seat already..
- It's probably me, but I'm having real difficulty getting the the gear into Neutral. Hopefully this will change once I get a better feel of the shifter.
Here's a video of start up and walk around -

More to come as I ride it more!
