If it's a second hand one then get all the worn / broken / knackered bits sorted first.
On my 748 that meant, powder coated frame, new pads, new m/cyl cover, top end rebuild, cambelts, new swing arm spindle & bearings, new clutch basket & plates, change all fluids & filters, new front tyre, new back brake hose, lots of little 8mm stainless fasteners.
Then get it set up to fit you.
Double bubble screen, Helibars, Biposto springs chucked, new springs/shock rebuilt/ suspension set up by Graeme at Shoxx in Glasgow. Helibars make a massive difference if you are tall & fragile like me.
Then make it look & sound how you like.
Mine had JHP titanium cans chip & airfilter already so all I had to do was paint it black & bung on a DP hugger. Lighter clutch slave cylinder on the list next.
Then go looking for more power if you must. I just need to learn to use what's there.
