It was quick, instantly getting me to the next year BUT not smooth. Maybe with time you start to get the right feel for it but I am really comparing it to the Gixxer which personally I felt like I was at home straight away and was very smooth. It's very tough to beat in my opinion
Low revs it wasn't very nice, higher revs it felt incredibly smooth, it certainly had the quaility Honda feel to it. 30s and 40s personally didn't feel like it was happy and kept cutting in and out. I wish I could answer your question more precisely!!
I would recommend you trying one as you have the experience of owning Blades before so you will know what you are looking for in the bike

Im curious to understand why you kept it in first gear, and it didn't feel right. Why did you not select second gear, during your test ride. We are all aware bikes perform better at higher revs, but thats trackdaying or pushing the bike on the road. The throttle response can be selected by different modes, like all 1litre bikes. My view point can be reflective, to which mode you selected, when taken the the bike out for a humble test ride.
Did the dealer select what mode to ride.
