Very nice on 2 counts. Ohlins make a bloody huge difference, bought an ex-race one for the back of the CBR 600 I used have. It was like night and day. Mind you that was going from tired standard shock to Ohlins.
Have you ever done any track days? If you ever get a chance do a ride day at the Island, effing awesome. I did a couple when I was living in Melbourne. You shit yourself first time you go (Almost highsided at Honda corner on my first out lap, apparently looked very spectacular from behind) but the second time was the most fun I have ever had on a bike.
Stagea is very nice indeed. Practical but very cool in one package.
By the way, don't EVER sell the bike. Been through the whole 2 kids, not using it enough, need some cash deal. You WILL regret it.
Cheers
