I'm still really keen on the idea of upgrading my suspension, just to see what the bike could be like if nothing else. The funny thing is, I don't have any problems with the stock set-up on mine - pushed it real hard in Wales yesterday and there was no wallowing or getting out of shape. But I guess I would like a quicker turn-in (still haven't got around to dropping it on the forks :rolleyes), and think maybe decent upgrades could make it a bit more nimble in the twisties - it can be hard work doing quick left-right-lefts. But then, there's some satisfaction to be had from that too.
My last 3 gen 1s didn't seem as good as this one - rear shocks were awful; tidied up on my last one by fitting a Hagon item. It seems I may have got a bike that just happens to be set to my liking (pretty firm all round) without having to touch anything for myself.
But yeah, R1/R6/Nitron stuff appeals...
