Oh no, it was awesome! Well, the first crazy thing was the ergos... setback plates + very low clipons = bike asking to be leaned in corners (we went around the big traffic circle behind my house a few times, and this things kept wanting to go lower and lower

).
Then I obviously noticed the big diff caused by the -1/+2 gear conversion... (I will have to try -1 in the front now for sure)... finally, I liked the rear Ohlins very much as well... not sure I could feel the PCIII though... but then again, with so many differences, it's difficult to compare it with a stock FZ
