I know what you mean.
It would need more oomph to be my main ride.
Like 50bhp more
I'll be using it as my lazy Sunday plodder I think.



I think you can get Aftermarket bits,high comp.pistons etc., to oomph[the technical term]them up a bit.I'd say the bits would be readily available in the UK,
but they'll never be a power bike,and as it's just new,I don't know if you would want to start pulling it to bits at this stage.I know I wouldn't.
As you say a nice, day in the country, Sunday ride.



It is possible to get a big bore 612cc upgrade giving a 150% increase in bhp and there are power commanders, K&N filters and 'performance' pipes available too.
Apparently a big bore equipped bike (with fairing) has hit 120mph.
As for ripping a new bike apart to do this and thereby voiding the warranty, had it been a £10,000-£12,000 bike then no, I wouldn't do it.
As it was just £1 less than £4,000 then I wouldn't be too concerned about doing it.
I bought it to be a plodder though so other than an aftermarket louder pipe (for pedestrian safety, obviously!), I won't be messing too much with it, engine-wise anyway.
