Welcome to the fold Nikki
If you've come from a past on jap bikes then you'll find that, if you've had smaller jap singles and twins then you may even notice it more.
You've got to ride the motor more, be in the right gear as unlike an inline 4 you've only got two relatively big pistons bumping up and down which isn't going to feel as smooth. Often a gear higher than you think works better as the motor will lug along and feel a bit happier.
Throttle control is also an acquired art, given the pretty flat torque curve you don't need big handfuls at lower speeds. Try much more subtle fine throttle feed at lower revs.
Gear changing, neutral selection and jerking also get worse if the chain isn't just so. Found that particularly on one of my 750's.
Stick with it and get in some riding time, it gets better.
