Based in Parker (south of Denver), like Bob, have been on many 11k passes on a no mods 2005 SM. No problems. Had to drop down a gear now and again, but other than that, it just ran great!
Not been up Pikes Peak (except on the cog railway!) so cannot comment on that. All I can say is it was 95F when we got on the train, 32F when we reached the top, so take some warm/rain gear!
Did go up Trailridge Road by car (12k) and saw many other motorcycles up there. They all appeared to be running fine!
Cheers!
