Probably not. Unless you plan on keeping your Ten for a long time, the stock suspension is acceptable. The longer you plan on keeping it, the more sense it makes.
I had a Nitron race shock built and fitted to the Ten at 10,000 miles after the OE Sachs had died, so I would suggest at some point people are going to be fitting aftermarket shocks, as the OE is poor.

Agreed, I decided to spend the money on handling, braking and refining the stock bike rather than dumping nigh on �800 (PCIII/V, silencer, and Air box) in an effort to chase a few HP.
