Since you've sat on one, how does the clearance actually feel?  The reviews are saying there isn't as much lean angle as we might like, does that seem true?  I know some pictures do make the pegs/tailpipe look close to the ground, but they don't even always have a rider for the pictures.

as far as lean angle goes id say its adequate for mountain driving if there was a little more lean angle it would be without any issues but as far as city and urban driving i cant reallly see where there will be any issues for 95% of riders.

Hmm, I guess I'm just concerned because I'm typically city driving and my nighthawk has ground pegs before, especially when two up.  I love the look of this bike, but I love dipping into turns.  All the reviews are praising it for low center of gravity and the engine with low bike weight.  All these things would make the twistys fun, but not if I can't get into a turn without worry.
