Yeah I have a lot of canyon within a couple miles so a small tank isn't terrible but a 3.3 would be perfect!

Thanks everyone for the kind words really liking the bike so far. The only thing that is killing me is the break in period and waiting the engine to be ready. Anyone have any break in period tips?

I don't know which is correct but for break in some people say ride it like you would normally ride it and the "book" says to baby it for at least 500 miles. I babied my 2012 48 for the first about 200 and rode the crap out of it from there on. I don't know if it made any difference but I couldn't hold out that long without ripping the throttle at the very least here and there. Good looking bike though! Kinda jealous of the fat forks! Enjoy!
