the gen 1 has fairly good lights as std. not great but well above ave for the age of bike.
i fitted normal Philips replacement bulbs about 3 years ago and it did improve it over OE but not by a lot.
last week i splashed out on brand new 100% brighter bulbs from philips and its another step up and much better than OEthough i do need to alter my beam hight up a little as when i droped the forks down and put a jack up kit on the rear the beam is a little low now.
i travel to and from work (25 miles each way) in the dark right now on back roads with no street lights for 80% of it. on full beam its awsome up to about 70ish then im to fast for the lights
but on dipped its closer to 45-50 MAX and with a car comming the other way im blind lol
