New bike?

OK, had a bit of a ride on a newish (2008, 15k miles) bike today. Having not long had my first ever Mille (1999 version), I think it's time to go for a brand new one! :inlove
Main thing is, what should I get the dealer to put on? :dunno

So far, my add-on list is:

R&Gs
Heated grips (yeah, I know, but I really don't care. I LIKE warm hands!)
Optimate lead!

Got the option of System 4 alarm but not sure whether
a) they're any good
b) it'll knacker the battery when not plugged in to the mains for a while
c) it actually makes any difference to the insurance (if immobiliser is already factory fitted)

Don't want the cans yet as like to get to know a bike on standard cans first (and would probably get something other than Akra's)

Any other suggestions?

Oh, and while I'm here, might as well start up the 'What's the best way to run in a new bike?' debate :roll
