Running it in is for you to get used to the bike as well as the engine. Be aware you're made of meat and bones and everything else, mostly, isn't. Enjoy, I've been riding since '81 and still love it, Gs11 and Benelli 500 trail, both my babies 🏍️, keep at it you're doing great 😃👍
Yes I do think this is a beginner friendly bike. It has enough power for whatever you want to do but not enough to get arrested. lol. I have done a road trip on it and it was fine for the 700 miles. Also if you're short like myself it doesn't feel heavy when you're stopped.
Like yourself, I'm a newbie but the prices for a new motorcycle here are at least 2500-3000 over Msrp and then their inventory is slim as well. Holding off buying one. Did you pay way over the msrp?
