Geometry has changed over the old bike. Swing arm longer, rake steeper. Those will sharpen it up a bit. But yeah, it's still a beginner/commuter bike.

Plus beefier fork tubes and new frame... all around, movement in the direction of livelier handling. All good.

They're also being smart with accessories and such. You can get a plug-and-play 12v socket, nicely integrated into the left fairing to feed your device addiction. And a higher seat if you're taller, while stock seat height stays at a beginner-friendly sub-31 inches.
