Don't know anything about them sorry, but it's an excuse to post a photo of my bike.
I did the Q-Ride course a few years ago and that lets you go from no licence to a full licence so you can ride anything you like after that. I decided to get a litre bike as I wanted something that'd scare me a bit for my first bike, and I like the sound of a V-twin so I got a Honda VTR-1000F Firestorm.
They're okay for short trips but I certainly wouldn't want to have to commute far on one. I also never ride in the rain. Aldi had a tank bag that works really well but I haven't seen it for sale for yonks.
