Depends what year you get, my 2000 model had no Ohlins at all, but to be honest, it doesn't need it.
I changed the rear to a race spec Ohlins last year (not oe stuff) and whilst the difference was noticeable it was not earth shattering. The forks are also Showa with Tin stanchions and are superb. I have fitted Ohlins springs as the originals were too firm, and I have to say the forks are excellent, I certainly won't be rushing out to buy Ohlins replacements!
