    Agree that i dont think they will 0% on the new model for a while yet otherwise they would never shift the old stock

    That settles it for me then . I was gutted when they announced the new bike as i bought my bike new in April this year but at 1300 less and interest free finance on what i had to pay after the trade in is a big enough saving for me to keep my current bike . Plus I'm enjoying building her up and will be existing hunting down those wheels and trying to retro fit those flared tail units .

    new tyres :p and get your suspension set up for your weight would be my first two choices :)

    Agree on the "get out and ride it"
    But before I even took the bike out I had bought with the bike a taller Honda screen, rear hugger and seat cowl. Had r&g crash bunts fitted by the dealer. I got a r&g rad cover.

    Best just got out and enjoy first

    spelling

    Tyre s have to be first mod unless you enjoy front and rear wheel slides.

    Always worth setting the suspension up on any new bike apart from that the only area worthy of a performance upgrade is the brakes. Don t get me wrong race cans, power commanders, rearsets etc are all great but it hardly lacks power and the handling is good enough once set up for running decent pace in inters on track days so unless you plan on racing the rest after tyre s and suspension set up is just icing in the cake which don t get me wrong is very nice but its a great bike as stock so the list of essential mods is quite short imo

    Tyres, then carbon bits!

    IMO, the bike is good out the crate. I had my suspension set up too, and great on smooth roads, a bit bumpy on rough ones.

    The first thing you should do to it is adjust the hand and foot controls so they suit you.
