I am seriously considering the Daytona rear shock but from new and 500 miles on I ride at 6,000 rpm (which is around 70 mph) almost everywhere.
So I would suggest that you buy the bike, ride it and figure out whether you need to replace the shock or not.
On highways (dual carriageways) regardless of the speed I go, the standard shock is more than adequate but on backroads or roads where the surface quality is very poor you feel the limitations of the shock but all you need to do is ride a bit more slowly and not push the limits (yours and/or the bikes) to keep everything the right way up.
Most of the last 500 miles has been in poor weather and on some pretty bad roads but roads that I know well. As a result I have a good idea where/when to push harder and when to take it easy.
