First ride on 2006 450

[Oldcow]

Wow! That's what went thru my mind today as I rode this bike for the first time. I thought it was a bit twitchy compared to my DRZ in the rocks until I looked down and saw I was riding 100kmph. I love the power delivery and suspension.. The bike feels smaller than it is and is very quick in turns. You guys know all of this of course but after spending all winter reading about it it was nice to see for myself. I would love to try a 250 or 300 at some time.
The fan came on and stayed on longer then I thought it should and makes a whining sound. I ordered a soft seat and after the first ride I am not sure I need it. I was told to run premium fuel. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks again for the help before I bought the bike.
