Hi all,
I currently have a Gen1 with 8k on the clock with following upgrades.
Ivans kit, braided lines front and rear, EBC HH Pads, pipercross air filter, blueflame end can, Hyperpro springs in forks and on shock. Just passed MOT with no advisories Bike is in mint condition.
I enjoy riding it a great deal bought it with 5k on the clock 2 years ago and done 3k since. goes well, handles well and I enjoy every factor of it. BUT I fancy something a bit newer for some reason?!
My issue is does the extra cash I will spend warrant the change?
My other issue is that I am 6'3 and 17 stone and change so thinking will the gen2 be too firm for me? I always wanted an R1 but due to my size I have avoided one after sitting on one a few years back. Just looking for a compromise I guess.
Any thoughts welcomed

Lord,
Grant me the WD-40 to move those things that are stuck, the Duck tape to fasten those things that are loose, And the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen
