Welcome! Gorgeous spec, I really love those cylinder head covers with the 719 color scheme. Congratulations on your purchase!
Hello from Vancouver Canada
Hi all, proud new owner of R9T, amazing bike. My last bike was a GSXR 1000, so this is somewhat different, not as high strung as the Suzuki but I think way better for cruising around, more comfortable and it still feels feels sporty.
Never had a bike with all these electronics...ABS, traction control, dynamic engine braking etc. so bit of a learning curve. I am going to have to get used to the fly by wire throttle and the engine braking...not used to that.
Overall pretty happy with the bike, I only rode it 50km from dealer to my house. As the dealer is super busy and are booking service 3 weeks in advance I had to book my first 1000km service for June 09, 15 days should be no problem to put on 1000km especially with the good weather we are having. Still sucks that they are so busy that booking an appointment has to be done so far in advance.
Oh well, hope everyone stays safe...watch out for the daydreaming cagers!

Congrats on your new R9T and welcome to the forum from Ohio, USA! 
I got my R9T Pure after long-term ownership of a Honda VFR800, and there was definitely a learning curve to the new bike. But within a week I think I was pretty comfortable with the new machine. It helped that I rode it home from western Michigan the day after I bought it. A nice 360-mile ride to get to know the new bike!
Three weeks' advance booking for an appointment sounds pretty good to me. The closest BMW dealer to me schedules 2-3 months out. It's rather absurd, and has me thinking about using a different dealer in the future, even it they're a little further away.

Lovely looking bike, welcome!
