The FX was a nice bike, tho a honda. Also star ship acceleration compared to a cb5.
I still say get a bike set up for your static weight.
Also I don't believe you have had a tank slapper, the bike just had a shake. You cannot save a tank slapper IMO...by you I mean even the most experienced road racer will tell you that. Would you like a link to the TT tank slapper videos as the normal road surface and going insanely fast.

if you are buying a new bike the run in period of 500 - 600 miles will give you time to adapt to the bike get used to it and get a feel for the handling.
i went from direct access to a cbr600fx |(110bhp). a day on a 125 then 4 days on a cb500 then picked up the new cbr. even below 6000 rpm it was still a blast and being quite a cautious person i didn't over rev for a few weeks. then the first service and access to 8,000->11,000 revs blew me away
scared myself a few times but nothing really dangerous. tank slappers are the worst feeling in the world, feels like you're gonna bin it for whats seems like an age then it settles. those were the scariest times on the new bike
