I have this motorcycle F800ST from 2006 and I can confirm the negatives are occuring for me as well, I miss gears quite often on this bike, my stock mirrors do move slightly even at city speeds, I need to figure something about about them, and indicators are bad, I gotten used to them, but I don't like them at all. I have a custom DominatoR exhaust for the bike to sound better. Other than these couple minor downsides, it's a really nice motorcycle
