S2R

Fuel tank and ethanol .. though now replaced and sealed

Rear shock lacking any useful adjustment.. will be replaced

Front shocks lacking ANY adjustment .. Can live with that given a decent rear shock

Standard exhaust too heavy and quiet ... we can has termis

Anyone want some standard silencers?? No hmm there's a surprise

Not so nice front calipers .. must get the old golds rebuilt and fitted

Else not a bad package, though my 748 has all the above as standard with cornering speeds that are sometimes a bit buttock clenching. The S2 can give you that feeling but it's usually not because it's calmly managing more corner speed than you're used to more that it's more than the shocks can manage ... still a reasonably 'quick' bike on the right roads
