You may hate it at first if you've never ridden a twin, and it sounds like you've been in the I-4 camp for a long time. Stick with it for a few weeks and you'll come to appreciate being under 10k rpm and still having power. Definitely will take some getting used to though... don't overrev it once you feel the power flattening out; that just means it's time to shift.
