hey there!
i bought last year an 748 sps with 39.000 which is my first motorbike ever. used to ride my vespa px200 for some years in the past. getting old i decide its now or never to buy my dreambike (31).
so far, i enjoyed riding last season going more than 11.000 km in the past few months, doing some work myself on the bike (changed oil:grin2: and replace mono with biposto rear subframe and seat) all these just to make possible to go on a trip from Norway to Greece and back with my girlfriend. we built a rack too in a day in order to support luggages which by now is thrown to the rubbish.
really love the bike and everything about it, only thing i miss (didnt expect this to happen in less than couple of years) is power...especially with the biposto frame and the second person..
the bike is original so since winter is coming and i will not use it for the next 6-7 months, i have decided to go on with upgrades OR with a 996 motor on it.
i am not sure yet, what it should be of these 2 above... i have found some info online in order to raise a bit torque etc, install titanium exhaust, power commander and other stuff but still i am not totally sure what i should do. any suggestions on upgrading or not will be welcome. i know there are not much i can do and maybe all i get gonna will be some hp and torque but i am pretty confident i am not ready to go much further anyway... all i need is some extra power and maybe some weight reduction.
i am using the bike both for street, traveling and track.
i would love an 996r but as far as i know it would be too much for my non-experience...
i will start checking the forum about all the above but any link suggested in order to save time is welcome too.
greetings from Norway,
Andreas
