Give Suzuki a couple years to work out some of the more obvious bugs that will crop up in this new bike. Look at the Marauder, it's been around for several seasons now, and they still haven't figured out how to paint them.
I really like the look of the Volusia, however, it is not going to be as good of a bike as the VS800 Intruder it is based on. It has been detuned, it is missing a carb, the electrical system is different, etc. I do want the rear fender for one though, should look very 1950's on my Savage. Once it is done teething, the Volusia should turn out to be an okay bike.
