Hawk DLX first ride! Some issues...

So I just took my DLX out on its maiden voyage and it was fun. Went about 20 miles and this thing vibrates like crazy. From the time I left my house going 25mph to the time I got back after doing 60. It tickles my feet and I feel it inside areas of my body I didn't think was possible. Is this normal? It didn't feel abnormal like something wasn't right but it was a lot.

Also, I would be going along around 50ish, steady throttle/speed, and the bike would lose power and surge. Like I let up on the throttle but I didn't. I noticed this right away in first gear. I thought maybe I hit a Rev limiter but I was only about 7K rpm. I did change the plug to an NGK unit before I rode it. I also have not adjusted the valves since I wanted to run it first.

Any ideas here? And OMG the exhaust is loud. My neighbors are not going to like me in the mornings. Lol

My horn didn't work out of the box either but I was sent a replacement right away. I also ordered the large, 42liter hard tail box.
