First off thanks for the nice write up on your riding impression. One of the things I'm really excited to see is they addressed the side body work with the new subframe/airbox/side panel design. You mentioned you didn't snag your boots anywhere and that was one of my major complaints with my 2011. I had a time my Sidi's and the sharp, protruding angle on the front of the airbox side panel wanting to hook up a lot. It caused for several attention diverting moments along the way, but I was finally able to mostly eliminate it. That issue looks solved on the 2012 models and I'm getting a great look at it with your nice pics.
