Question New Mean Streak, Bad Vibrations?

Hi
I live in sweden and i have just bought a new Mean Streak 1600.

The thing about thise beast is that in the RPM between 1500 to 2500 there is a lot of vibrations in the handelbar?

..Actually my mirrors usaly feel it too, and then i cant see what kind of car there is behind me anymoore! (volvo? Cops? Mazda?)

And i talked to the dealer about this and got the answer that it was a big crusier and that vibrations are a part of a V -twin.

Still I was not convinced .. so i tested a other Meanie that had gone 1000 miles (that is not american miles but miles according to the metric system)

Sure , there was a bit of vibrations in the handelbars, but not as mutch as in mine! If i ride the bike a long time I cant feel my right hand any moore! ( the left I usally let go off the handelbar from time to time ..)

So now I am prepering to go back to the dealer and complain...
... but I wounder if anyone else has any experience from this sort of thing? the bike is BRAND New .. surley this should not accur?
