Welcome to the site! Great pics.
But, to pick a nit: (It's not a parallel four. Technically called a flat four or horizontally opposed).
Definitely the superior engineering design in that bunch.

Very nice! I see you're running a dual-sport tire on the rear. I'm curious what brand it is and how you like it's performance and wear...

Its a Shinko 705 series, 80% on/20% off. 120/90 R17 (the proper size tire). Wear is great, and sticks in the turns quite well. I can lean over to scraping the footpegs with confidence. I'm gonna switch the front to the same tire once the one I've got wears down.
I know this may be controversial, but everyone should REALLY be wearing the proper size tire in the back; my bike came with a 130/90 R17, and it did not wanna lean over. When I first got on the bike with this tire, it almost felt like a radial, in the sense that the bike leans EASILY now.
So get the stock tire size, folks.
Let the flame war(?) begin...

There's a rocket launch from Vandenberg AFB at 0147 PST. Visible for the entire Left Coast! I'll see if I can get a pic with Athena and the rocket....
