I haven't had my 2000 R11s very long either. I bought it in the winter, but really didn't start riding it until this spring/summer. Coming off an old '71 airhead, it has taken me time to get use to the quick/sensitive throttle response & clutch when accelerating and letting off on it, which can get real choppy as mentioned. I am getting more used to it, but it is taking some time. It rides so different and it takes time to get your confidence on its handling. Just ride it, get some miles on it and you'll find the sweet spots of its' handling and behaviors. Just my observations so far.
