Yep. Once and for all i'd like to see this question go away forever ! "if you want speed, get XXXX". Well, they never consider the possibility that every bike every person has ever bought is ALWAYS imperfect in some way or another. Does this mean he should sell it for another? What good will that do when NO BIKE IS PERFECT. He'd just be going from one imperfect bike to another. Point is, i love my bike more than any speed triple or other such contaptions and i would love it if i had to leave it stock. But heres the big suprise.....YOU DON"Y HAVE TO LEAVE IT STOCK !! So why not tailor the bike as close to your idea of perfect as possible? There is no reason not to, and there lies the answer to this constantly asked and rather senseless statement.
