I have to tell you...I am NOT light on my throttle. Also I'm not all that light either coming it at a robust 260lbs, and then I get dressed. 
Honestly I think it is mostly due to all the commuting I did last year. Cruising at 75-80 MPH for 45 minutes is much easier on a tire than stop and go traffic. We shall see how well this one does now that I carpool most of the time. I only have to ride 4 miles each way to my carpools house (8 miles a day) and that's usually in traffic and hitting most of the lights between my place and his.
