I second this optional “ludicrous mode.”
Just got an SR and don’t like that initial lag when taking off. Maybe because I was used to an fz09 where you had to always back off the throttle to keep the front wheel down.

Other minor things would be keyless start and outdoor temp gauge

I will have to try this. I have 100% on both regen and brake regen. Just got a 2016 sr last week. I get home from work (40 miles round trip) only have 30% or less battery. That’s going 50-70 mph. Does this sound right or is battery possibly bad. Was expecting to have more range. Worried if it gets cold might be cutting it close.

The best way I found to maximize range is to use custom mode.

100% Max Torque
0% Max Regen
50% Max Regen Brake (100%  can get even better range but I have found it's a little aggressive for me)

From there use your wrist to control energy use just like you suggested.  Name of the game is coast as much as possible and brake as little as possible.  If you do have to brake you  can pull the lever just a little and regen will engage but disk brakes will not.  Accelerating hard isn't so bad as long as you use all the momentum you gained from the energy use (i.e. don't accelerate hard then hit the brakes hard).  You will use slightly more energy if you accelerate hard but doing it a little bit won't make a significant difference in range.  High speed kills range more than anything.  For every little bit you reduce speed you will get a huge gain in range.
