Tall 1st gear

Just be patient and ride it often! You will soon get used to it, just as you did with your Honda. If you have any quiet back roads you can ride, take yourself off with a fresh tankful and don't go home until you need to refuel. Stop and restart often - you'll be an ace in no time and soon wonder what all the fuss is about!

Tall first gear?
I'd agree, just ride more and get use to it.
I believe an XL 1st gear redlines at 45 mph and maybe 5700 rpm.
Noting that 25 mph in first seems like a sweet spot.
The Honda, xxx and maybe 7000 (or even 10,000) rpm.
FWIW to me my 07 1200N feels like a short 1st gear; but what do I know?
