I'm the opposite (tho i generally ride a Vtwin)
Rode a buddies GSXR600 and was constantly short shifting. until i remembered to LOOK at the tach.

I've said it several times before, you simply cannot go wrong with Big Orange. KTM has proven in the past that if they want to compete, and eventually dominate a market they can. The jap companies better be looking over their shoulder if KTM decides they want a bigger segment of the street scene. I can't wait to see how the US journalists review the bike. My guess is that they won't like it because it departs from the cookie cutter japanese mold.
