Anyone have BB kit experience? Looking for more power..

Hey guys

My bike is broken in, and I've had a chance to wind it out a few times. It defintiely has enough power for normal driving/passing. But it doesn't give me much of a rush when the throttle is locked down.

Has anyone driven both a big bore demo bike and a stock one? Is the difference quite noticeable? I want an upgrade that will give me a scared sensation when I twist the throttle.

Maybe I need a force-induced rocket III on the side...

No one has it yet, but my mech said it's quite impressive. Problem is, this model is just out and no one has gotten around to modding because pasrt aren't available for the most part nor is a manual. I'm sure in time we'll have Tbirds that give the same rush as the R3. 120 HP shouldn't be a problem with BB and mods, and having a belt instead of the R3's shaft is also a power saver, so it should get darn close to R3 rush. But you'll have to wait unfortunatly due to the newness of the model.

You are on the right track here. One bike for laid back, take in the countryside cruising and another for balls out work.
