Nothing has ever gone wrong with this bike.
The low end torque is stupendous. The engine is a wonderful piece of engineering. Just don't look for liter bike beating horsepower though, it's simply not there.
The sound, especially with an aftermarket exhaust system, or bolt-ons, is absolutely music to the ears.
The stock steering damper is too heavy for my tastes, easily, but not cheaply fixed with an aftermarket adjustable unit.
The rear suspension is a bit of a mystery with its separate spring and rotary damper. The rotary damper is next to impossible to set up properly. Look for a conventional style aftermarket shock to remedy this too.
Overall it's a great bike, that needs a little more sorting out then most Japanese bikes, but nothing too extreme.
I wasn't sure how to rate to acceleration, braking and comfort on a scale of 1-10? Compared to what for example? It's comfortable as far as sportbikes go, but it's no Goldwing?
I agree with everything you say! I've got one and wouldn't swap it for anything else. Brilliant bike!
