Getting used to it as well...
I just bought a 2015 N1K in black, trading from a Triumph Thunderbird 1600. The gearing difference is crazy between these two bikes, and I'm having to learn how to gear this bike appropriately. I find that I'm not having to gear down as low to engine brake with this new bike as I did on the Tbird. When I go too low, there is major engine braking. I really like this bike, and am getting used to the different riding style. Really fun learning experience.
