It still has plenty of rubber on the sides, but a smaller contact patch in the middle that you’ll only use in straight-line acceleration. But some stickier rubber wouldn’t be a bad idea. That’s probably the best “safety” mod you can do to a motorcycle. I really don’t intend to upgrade to a bigger bike. That’s the plan. So, this is going to get modded with the intent of keeping it and making it just perfect for myself. Having watched hours upon hours of videos, I really don’t see the use or need to get a bigger bike. The only thing I will miss out on, is the sound that the bigger bikes have…that’s why I’m going with the Akrapovic. It’s the closest that I’ve found to having that ‘whine’ when at RPM. I hear with the slip-on, area-p, and sprocket…this bike really becomes something special. > [@Out with the old/In with the newer(NEW PICS)](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/out-with-the-old-in-with-the-newer-new-pics/53032/31): > > Nice bike, congrats Ilya… I’ll have to check it out when you get it… :tbu --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/finally-going-to-do-it-me-thinks/267104)._
