Red 2013. How should I trick it out?

Rock on! Congrats on the RH50. The best thing you can do to it right out of the box is to properly break it in. One thing I would encourage would be to derestrict it though. That will give you a better top end and more power in the take off, just keep off the WOT and try not to go too far past half throttle until 500miles. Do some digging through the forums and you'll see everything from riding naked (no plastics) to dropped/chopped/extended knuckle draggin action.
My mods so far (had it about two weeks this Saturday):
1. Stebel Nautilus Twin Air horn
2. Relocated front turn signals (double check your local laws to see if something like that is legal before you do it)
3. Delobstered (there's an extra extended fender in the rear... I don't think it's needed).
4. Debadged
5. Unifilter pod (you will want to think about upjetting if you do this)
6. Derestricted
7. Synthetic 2T Oil
With the exception of the air horn, those mods are cheap or free. Always remember to keep a spare spark plug or two on hand. Also, get yourself an extra liter of 2 cycle oil.

Fill it with gas and ride it! I took that rear fender extender off too. Silly looking thing. I get 750 miles on a quart of 2T oil.

It was delivered today! I just got home and it's great. Starts up awesome. But they might have forgot the manual? Unless its under the seat that I can't open, lol.
How do I open the seat?

It will be under the seat. On the left hand side just near the seat you will find a lock. Put the key in and twist.
One mod I forgot to list, I've left the lock, but put in a quick release pull cord so I don't have to bother with the key.
As for an alternate headlamp assembly... Keys has done a completely different "naked" approach that uses a different headlight assembly. Not sure what he ended up going with, but the whole thread he has on his buckten is interesting to say the least.

That's awesome. Next, I need a circular number decal to put on the front handlebar shroud...looking around.
