For a Gen2 that was a great price.Bought it! 2014 with 33k miles $6700 and bald tires. Spooned shinko 705s and installed basic electronics gear and first commute to work. Very happy with bang for the buck.
Man I love that dark blue. What lights are those you have mounted under the headlights?

Though I've adapted very well to my stock bike I'm thinking about going ahead and getting flashed. Everything I've read tells me it's worth it and even though today was in the 70's this next week it's gonna be dropping. Most likely to be the last of the 70's.Scuffed the new tires in and got to try out the flashed ECU (thanks Anthony!), she's a whole different machine now. Got @ 100 miles in, topped the tank off, and stuffed her back into the garage until Spring.
Did you chose Conti TKC 70s ?New tires yesterday in 60 degree rainy weather, today its sunny and 70!!
Perfect for scuffing new tires in on a variety of road surfaces.
Tomorrow, 46, gotta love TN weather.

Got rid of the aggressive engine breaking in S mode (feels more like the 4cyl in-lines that I grew up with), increased response 1st-3rd gears (easy power-up wheelies in 2nd gear now!), smoother and stronger pulling from idle > 3500 RPM (I normally try to stay above 3000 to avoid that sluggish response when rolling on aggressively, no need for that anymore). Granted this is all based upon my SoP (seat of pants) dyno but I could not be happier....money well spent in my opinion.Though I've adapted very well to my stock bike I'm thinking about going ahead and getting flashed.

Curious as to what you think of the 70s after you get to ride them a bit both on the pavement and whatever off the pavement riding you do.
