Whew, thanks all - exactly what I was hoping to hear. 
My current bike's a GB500, so I'd be getting used to a slightly different riding posture (and, obviously, throwing around a bigger/heavier machine).
I'm a around 5.5', 125(ish) lbs. Only been on one in a local showroom, and was able to flatfoot in my (slightly thick-soled) riding boots. So I'm not too worried about being stopped at lights or whatnot. And I was quite impressed by how "light" it felt - very nice center of gravity/balance.
