If I start here, can someone tell me to move if necessary?

I've been ridiing since the late seventies. The newest bike I've owned was a 1982 R80. I currently have a 1972 Suzuki T500.

For the first time ever, I encountered a SMIDSY and my 1960s designed SLS front brake barely pulled me up in time. So now it's time to upgrade to ABS etc and therefore the excuse to buy the Monster I coveted.

First question, I went out for a short accompanied test ride on a 2012 796+. It had about 1500 miles on the clock. The engine pulled wonderfully, but laboured really badly I 2nd and third below 4000rpm. Is this normal?
