MaxwellEdison, Congrats on the new ride! I've had many bikes but have had more fun on this 919 than any I've owned. For me, it's a great compromise between power, weight, comfort, affordability, and fun! You are sure to get many miles of smiles from her.
Luvfender, If you saw a black 919 at the Marcus Dairy it was probably Mister Mike. He has a very nicely modified 919 -- Sargent seat, Galfer lines, Sato rear sets, etc -- and he is a moderator over on
Wrist Twisters Performance where a LOT of 919 owners hang.
