New to cruisers and surprisingly Excited

Hey y'all, long story short made longer, I've had sport bikes and sport tourers alike, and wanted something I thought would get me away from the addicting neck snapping acceleration of those bikes. I figured a cruiser would be the best way to calm down, and with research, found the new gen valkyries very appealing and right up my alley. No one has a new valkryie up here in Canada, and since I like having the oddball toy among the groups, I looked and found a gem 2014 black abs with literally 7kms on it for 7gs off msrp. After more research, I decided to buy it over the phone thinking it would be great. Never riding anything like this before, it was quite a challenge doing the 250km highway cruise home with no windscreen. The seat was too hard, and the wind was hitting me very hard in the shoulders forcing me to stop every 50kms or so to take a breather. The seating position however was fantastic and to my surprise, torque and power of this baby was even more addicting and fun then my old gixxer 600! Not to mention how freaking good the bike looks! Shortly after, I ordered a Corbin dual tour seat with the t backrest, wind deflectors and oem Honda tall windscreen. Huge difference instantly and it made for an outstanding highway ride. 1900 happy kms later and I am one happy potato with this beast. I ride into work at 430am for a 100km ride one way with no issues at all. I'm getting 350 to a tank with many twists of the throttle throughout the tank on a very hilly highway.
All in all, I've never thought I'd be into cruisers, but I'm pleasantly surprised with this Honda, in almost every way, it's the ultimate cruising machine and I've never been more excited about a bike.
