I bought a new 919 in 2003--coming off a CB650 Nighthawk (biggest single motorcycle regret is selling that Nighthawk). The 919 was the first bike I had that had even a little forward lean to it, which took some getting used to. The front wheel liked coming off the ground, must have been my frequent right wrist cramps and intermittent clutching abilities. Very quick bike. Personally, I didn't find it very comfortable to ride for much more than 45-60 minutes around town. Overall, enjoyed the Nighthawk more and traded the 919 in after about 18 months for a 2004 Honda ST1300, so totally different direction. Enjoy riding my '17 CB1100EX a lot more than the 919, but that's also related to a calendar showing 20 years having passed.
Fun bike if you're looking for torque but not full sport bike ergonomics.
