That's entirely up to you, of course. Personally, I thought my '05 Repsol was loud enough, but it wasn't longbefore I wanted a slip-on.

^^^What he said!^^^

The rear fender would be the first thing I would get rid of, but that's just me.

it isnt truly "yours" until you modify it in some way. i have 08 Limited Edition and have put Gold Marchesinis on it with Galfer wave front and back and Michelin Pilot Power tires. my 2bros slip on with Juice Box will be here 4-11. Solo seat cowl is on order from Honda and dark tint double bubble is being shipped on 4-25 from Puig. as soon as Pazzo makes some levers and i can get a Fender Eliminator then that will be added as well.

If you like it stock save yourself some green and enjoy, buy some riding gear or something.

But yeah, everything needs a mod........

Don't know why honda didn't integrate the rear turn signals like they finally did up front. And where is the gear position indicator and is there a fuel gauge on this bike?

I want one. Just saw some photos of it with aftermarket pipes. Sweeeet.

I just can't part with my repsol, thought about trading it in but nope can't do it. Can't trade in my gixxer 1k either. Love that thing. Maybe I should just have another. Uhhhh I just wanted to get a commuter bike and the badass bike fever hits.

NS, +1. I read that second line and had to go clean myself. Sounds beautiful. Let's see those pics.
