I admit, I'm not much of a crotch-rocket fan (currently riding a 'Guzi 'California Vintage' 05), 'grinding' with that fuel tank (on a Sport Bike) makes me feel as if I'm cheating on my wife...lol ! But that Yamaha is a nice looking bike indeed !!
I'm an MSF Intsructor (Basic and Advanced Riding Skills classes), and the one thing I notice with Sport Bikes is that they are meant for speed - low speed maneuvering seems to challenge many of my students with these bikes.
Be sure to spend more time practicing low-speed operation as this is where it'll get hairy on a sport bike, and in the City, this is where you'll spend a lot of your time.
If you haven't taken any MSF courses, I highly recommend doing so. I have students who've ridden for many years come to the course and comment on how much they learned... often to their surprise - not everything can be learned simply by doing. Good Luck !!!
