Yes Bill truly a beautiful bike..... I could have one of those hung on my wall with a great big wooden frame around it.
Absolutely not, get that wee motor spinning up around the 10grand, where it needs to be and watch it go over the ton!

With your sylph like form aboard, you could get tucked right in, with your chin on the tank, grip the tank with your knees and elbows and 'think it' through the corners.

Tweedsmuir to Moffat?

Bad thoughts! Good health, Bill
