Well, thanks to everyone here for their great posts full of advice and experiences! Today I went out and bought my first bike - '03 Silver Mean Streak. 
Right off I have added a windshield and light bar from the dealer. I am going to work on my driving skills on weekends by putting myself through the paces of "Ride Like A Pro" series to get better at the basics. There are so many questions...but lots a time to learn, especially as cold weather here in Toronto, Canada means I won't be able to ride for 5 months of the year at least. Thank goodness the weather has been in the high 70's still (record highs for this time of year almost) and I will get a few rides under my ass. I would love to hear from anyone with first ride experiences or modifications to their mean streak that really paid off in ride enjoyment. :?: Honestly, I am not a speed freak so adding HP is not a priority for me. Safety and comfort are a top priority.
Thanks again.
