Just test rode it. Very smooth. Definitely need a stage 1 at least. The 107 was not any more powerful in feel than my 103. Very smooth though.
definately need a suspension change. It felt flat. What is the most common suspension? Ohlins still the go to with these heavier bikes?
dont you talk about the m8 like that! Best engine in the history of anything ever! On the suspension note, im pretty sure ohlins from howard are the big thing, not just ohlins in general. Your probably pretty safe with any of the reputable sellers that set them up for you regardless of brand.
