How about this? An 09 beastie, completley stock. First ever vehicle on two or four as well!



I wont be doing any performance mods for now (I am a student at York and insurance was 400+ ?!!?) but I will be doing some comfort mods, like a flat seat, some windbreak inside the forks (bird comb), handgaurds and a higher screen. In fact I might just make a thread asking about gaurds compatable with a givi adjustable screen now.....

This website was really useful in choosing the bike, so thanks to you all already

You said you're only doing comfort mods for now, but we have a one off chance that you might be interested, and it is a one off!

Welcome on board mate.

Best comfort mod I did was fit one of Kev's O2 Controllers; makes the bike so much more tractable and pleasurable to ride at lower speeds. Less clutch use and gear changing = less fatigue. Technically speaking, it isn't really a performance mod.

Seat and screen mods are a must, as are fitting a set of Grip Puppies and some wider pegs.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the forum. ..great choice of bike! Steve

Tempting, it really is, but to make new pipes worth it I understand I would need to remap with a PC or add a kev mod as well as altering the exhaust post-burning system as a result of having no cat. I'll see how my premium goes down in a years� time then possibly do some performance mods to push it back up again!
I just don't know if the insurance company would agree though (I will ask when I next phone them) and having been riding for two weeks I don't know how collision prone I am!

Thank for the welcome all, I'm going to pop over to another forum section to quiz you knowledgeable persons on hand-guards and screens!
