Be prepared to deal with <20 kpl fuel efficiency...although that has never been an issue for me. Also be prepared to deal with parking issues. I am lucky to have 2 parking slots INSIDE my office building (RD350 and MT01) which is basically a fortress. Stuff like Carburetors and Instruments etc. are easy to steal.

Also the brakes don't work very well in the rain unless you use the bike on a daily basis. If you are using the local brake pads - they sort of expand with moisture and can cause "locking" of the brakes. It is easy to fix with simple adjustments.

The bike will also get incredibly dirty in the rain - do justice to it and keep it clean
