I popped into Touratech Wales the other day while running mine in and Nick showed me a sheet of Touratech goodies for the Ten that were being launched at Intermot as we spoke. All the usual protection and gadgetry.
Nice bash plate with a tool box on the front. Grant J was at Intermot and took some pix (below).

After 4 whole days I like mine - especially 74mpg/26kpl which should = nearly 600kms to a tank. But the screen is too low for me (6 1) and makes riding much noisier than no screen at all unless I crouch. TT do a Universal windscreen spoiler which might help and the best thing is it's only £73!

IMO the seat is no worse than many other big singles I've owned. Not sure the seat step is the problem; it's just half the width of the average adult human arse. Standing up briefly helps as Indu said.
Vibration seems pretty normal to me but like JM I'm used to big singles. Assume it may get smoother still but I'm about to take off the bar ends to fit guards so it may not.

Mine pops and bangs on the over run or even just a gear change but pulls smoothly. And matey at the first service place said running on leaded is not the engine-wrecking disaster the manual makes it out to be - it had me worried for a bit. The self diagnostics will get round it he said, even if you pull the lambda sensor and cat pipe.

I got the OTR rack (TT do one too now I guess) which is nice and light, looks tough but tricky to fit without help (mine was out by 10-15mm at the pillions). Just got some Barkbusters and TKCs too and off to Morocco next week to ride some tracks. It should be a lot of fun!
