A lot to get used to with this bike. I haven't owned a dirtbike since I was a teenager. The height (I can just get the tips of my toes down), the lack of torque (though if you spin it, it can definitely move), and the vague steering (semi-knobbies and the fact that I've been riding taught and planted sportbikes for the last ten years) are all a bit new.
I got used to mine pretty quickly. My tires of choice are Pirelli MT21s.

Mine is pretty nice on the highway. I cruise along at 60 mph at 4000 rpm. Redline is around 8000. Riding into a headwind can get pretty brutal, though.
