Well I only have a '99 750ss ie, but so far after 9 months of ownership I'm pretty happy with it!
Like Paulmort I've also changed to a 14t front sprocket for improved get up and go. Put some SIL exhausts, SBK3 front break pads, DP airfilter and double bubble screen on as well.
I commute about 8 miles each way on a daily basis. Doesn't sound far, but it takes half an hour through the London traffic. Initially I had some sore neck and shoulder muscles, but now I love it. With the aftermarket exhausts fitted, you can see the car drivers checking their mirrors as you approach when filtering.
Recently also had a Ventura rack fitted, because I got sick of carrying my gym kit and laptop in a backpack every day. What a difference it has made even in just a week! It doesn't do a lot for the looks of the bike when the rack and pack are fitted, but it's sooooo much more comfortable now that I'm not carrying the extra weight on my back.
The double bubble screen was only fitted in November when the temperatures started to drop. It was a good decision, keeping that extra icy windblast off me. (Yeah, yeah I'm only in London and expect someone from up Norf to chip in here)
Go for Stu, you might just be luckier this time around!
