Assuming they've got you an Ohlins sprung right, and they can be bothered to set it up right, you're in for a treat

As for the Veypor, Baggazee's right, it's a very good toy but it's not perfect. I've neve yet got a power graph out of it that wasn't garbage (though I've not tried all that hard, just did enough to demonstrate the problem then gave the charts to Veypor to look at- might have been fixed with the new firmware. It consistently gave peak power of 40bph

But the 0-60 mode makes every traffic light fun, and the 1/4 mile moe's similiarly great if you have somewhere safe to use it.

Speaking of which, make sure it has the latest firmware! They finally launched the proper dynamometer and free logging modes, which I'm dying to try out- having those misssing was what crippled the Veypor at launch, you were restricted to 1/4 mile at a time.

They still need a "remote" button set that you can mounton the bars, so you're not jabbing buttons in the middle of the yokes while moving. I might give the HUD a crack later on if I start to use it more.

Thanks Northwind, hoping they've managed to get the right fork springs for me - seem like they know what they're doing.
Looking forward to the suspension bits but suspect that I'm going to get just as much change from a new rear tyre - this one has done 7.5k miles so ready for replacing. Plenty feedback still - just not exactly what I'm expecting every time!

Will post pics and review in a couple of weeks when everythings done.
