    Yep, good bikes - better low/mid-range grunt than the Bandit
    They respond well to upgrading the suspension - I have Ohlins rear shocks and cartridge emulators in the front forks in mine.
    Also, in stock (NZ/Euro) trim they are restricted to 100Hp. This is done by restricting the breathing. Another 10-20HP is easily achieved by changing the airfilter to a less restricted unit and rejetting the carbs. It is difficult to get much more than this without spending significant $ on carbs (stock are smaller than Bandit) and cams (stock are softer than Bandit).

    info from the sales brochure:

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
