The suspension seems a little stiffer due to the reduced weight, and there's no wind protection (unless a big tank bag is being used), but that's what we're used to from classic bikes. There's no reason we couldn't install a windshield or flyscreen.
The bike now has a much lighter feel, changes direction more easily, and accelerates and brakes slightly better. You don't even notice a lag from the 15T front sprocket.
Significantly, it is much less top-heavy than it was, which made the DMV test easier.
I'd say it's a significant improvement over the stock configuration.
