Had a look at one at Moto Hub Castle Hill. Look awesome. Love to hear how you blokes find them on the road.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

Not going hard yet but its a lovely thing to ride. Really well balanced and sweet handling. Very quick through sweepers. Still getting used to it on tighter roads. Also a very easy bike to ride slowly. Engines still a little tight so I'm not opening it up but the power is there. Seat is hard and if you're taller than me (5 10 ish) the seating position might be a bit cramped. I've had a street triple for the past 5 years and its as least as good as that was.

Just went for a casual 3 day ride on the girl, first chance to really get into it since she has been run in, racked up about 1500 km's in 3 days and here are my findings so far.
OUCH, i have gotten the taller/softer seat fitted but after many miles in the saddle i find it still punishes this old ass.
She tends to run hot on the gauge but i have been advised that this is normal and tootling through Bangkok traffic the gauge goes to the top, the thermo fan kicks in and she cools down.
She goes like a cut cat in the hills and am eagerly awaiting on some track time to see what thats like.
