Brakes are great(radial brembo's rebadged I believe)

Front sus needs adjusting but its showa so a visit to dave hagon here should sort that.

Three ignitions modes sport touring and rain.

very responsive in sport (some hamfisted types on forums would say snatchy & unridable)

The same people moan about small throttle opening surging in sport mode.

ITS SPORT MODE!. change it to touring on the fly if you have to tour for a few miles in traffic.....

Generally nicely engineered, I tidied some wiring up which I think was from the previous owner.

mine was 4k. 2009 with 5.5k miles on it.

I love it!.

Further additions are - bash guard for oil filter area. Refit or replace handguards(missing off mine). Maybe look at a ducati style bar end mirror.

when the tyres are worn out fit more treaded style for wetter weather thrashing

just about it.

The 2009 won't.

I used to have one of these.

I liked it.

It got nicked, however - get a ground anchor.

And sport mode is fine - only mode you need.
