I recently bought one but with rain and travel only have a few hundred miles clocked.  I just put Givi hardbags on for a trip up to NC (from FL) in October.  Early indications are that this is an excellent bike.  The seat sucks, but everything else in my limited experience with the bike is really good.  Looking forward to getting some more miles on the clock.

How is the handling?  I know the stock tires suck, but when BIKE magazine did a long term test, they thought it was just so- so, even with replacement tires.

Handles fine. Better than the 5th or 6th generation VFR in my opinion. Stock tires were fine, just didn't last long.

+1 on the BT-016's. If someone else was buying them I'd keep running them.
