The C is more road friendly than the B mate. I've done 22,000 miles in 2 years on mine ranging from comutting to weekend hooning, trackdays etc and on Wednesday its going into Europe for a few more thousand miles.
If your looking to commute on it it will be great as long as you don't find it to cramped, having said that the C is about the same size as the 06 10 anyway.
It's plenty quick enough for the road and nice and easy to ride as well, oh and it goes through 2 foot deep floods as well as snow etc etc.
Depending on your route for commuting you may want to have a DB screen on it as it is quite a bit lower than the B model.
I've done over 600 miles on mine between Thursday and Sunday of last week and was on track with it on Saturday, I tend to get a little saddle sore after about 7 hours of riding.
I love mine and might even get another with less mileage on it in the future.
For commuting I would reccomend the Pilot Road 2, my front has over 10,000 miles on it and the last rear was good for excess of 6,000. The 2CT that they have are great and warm up pretty quick, I had my knee down on the road for the first time ever 12 miles after putting a new rear on.
The only thing I think you will notice is that it will be missing the grunt of the 10 mate & that I think would dissapoint you, despite the fact that it's quick enough anyway.
