Not wanting to appear rude guys but unless you are a <b>[Censored]</b> hot rider the difference in the standard well set up 749s showa and ohlins is negligable. Sort the standard showa out sag spring rate etc then for most of us it will be more than enough. Keep your £600 for a set of tyres and next years insurance.

Could well be true in my case I had my bike set up properly for the first time when the Ohlins was fitted. Biggest difference I notice is stability, it flicks over easier too but I put that down to set up rather than the shock
