It certainly wasn't anything like you describe as hard to live with. Maybe yours was "just one of those things'" but I'm glad it smoothed out for you. In fact, from day one I was very impressed with the smoothness of the engine and bike as a whole.
This is by far the best bike I've owned in the past 22 years - and that includes two other new Honda's.
I certainly agree with your comments about adequate power and purring smoothly down the road. This bike never fails to put a smile on my face.
I guess I should have made it clearer that the vibration wasn't through the entire powerband. I believe it was mostly around the 4000rpm range, and I'd have to say it started to make my hand feel numb and tingly if kept there long. I was wearing heavily padded gloves to avoid the vibration, which helped some. But now, I can ride bare handed and feel no vibration.
