Default Wife's New Bike

Our local dealership had their 30th anniversary this pasted weekend. the wife and I went to check things out and we ended up buying her a new 650. She loves the bike, but we just have a couple questions;

1. the bike has a noticeable vibration over 60 MPH (any ideas)
2. The bike will only start in neutral (even with the clutch handle pulled in). Now we had this issue with her 01 650 and I ended up cleaning out the clutch switch on the handlebars, but being that this bike is brand new (.6 miles when she rode it off the lot) I want to make sure its not something new. the bike should at least start in 1st with the clutch pulled in, right?

Anyway, we got a killer deal on it. I've attached a couple pictures. She is having a windshield, foot boards, saddlebags, new tear drop mirrors and a Mustang seat added as soon as the stuff comes in.
