Just got the bike out on the track. bike feels so much better then my 636. Im not going to lie my first ride on the bike i wasent to happy with the power but after exhuast jumper mod k n air filter it seems to be alot closer to my 636 power wise. My lap time was faster on my 08 an it seems like it just as alot more usable (track) power then then 636. Overall im very happy with the 08
