Default M50 today maybe

I may be picking up a red M50 today. I've read the posts here bout it, but there isn't much. Can I really expect it to be as smooth as people say at high(er) speeds? I'm coming out of a 95 Shadow 600 which made my girlfriend extremely happy around 50 mph, if you know what I mean

I had my shadow for 8 months when I had a nice meeting with a VW Jetta's side door. I've been out of riding for around 9 months.

I guess my question is...What can I really expect?
