First reaction: Holy crap this thing is heavy.
Second reaction: Holy crap this thing is awesome. It pulled so effortlessly, shifted so smoothly, and after the third turn or so, it turned so easily as well, more handle bar input than leaning. It was full of torque, but not the least bit jerky, even when i would crank the throttle while already rolling. I never thought i would like a cruiser, but i might have to reconsider now. It was quite the difference from the whining Ninjette even only at 40 mph. The gears shifted like butter, and getting into neutral was kinda challenging cause it required very little pressure; and I also was not used to a useful first gear, lol. If only they were so darned expensive...
