Pretty much why I avoid many rallies and bike nights. I have nothing against the types mentioned above, just not my cup of tea. I'd rather hang out with a few riders that don't feel the need to show off.

Yep. I was hoping for a bit smoother starts. Hard to say if there is that much difference. I know that people say the nc700 isn't that twitchy anyways, so maybe the difference isn't that much?Where you'd especially notice a G2 throttle tamer is (1) prolonged slow traffic with lots of starts and stops, or (2) off-pavement riding when it's more than just plowing along on a gravel/hardpack road at a relatively steady speed. The more technical the track gets the more the fine-grained control in the lower midrange becomes a blessing.
This was one of my short-term bucket list items -- taking the new motorcycle up from New York City to Harriman State Park and then all around in there. Only an hour away usually, but I started at 6:00 am and took the slow and scenic route up the Shore Road under the Palisades. Then once inside Harriman State Park, I made sure the go east/west to get the twisties on Route 106 west and back east on Arden Valley Road. It was a great morning of riding, about five hours including the trip up and back from NYC.
(Finally, it was my first ride wearing a helmet with a Sena bluetooth headset. I hadn't used Sena before. Wow, directions, music -- a whole new world)
