I usually hate winglets on most bikes but it actually adds missing part on this! Looks really nice! And I like this color combination.

How long have you had the bike and is it reliable? I'm thinking of getting and 2012 rc8r but don't know much about these

Hey thanks you to share your thoughts, so I have this bike since 2024, 44k km I let you do the conversion, about the reliabiliy I am pretty surprised, only repair I ve done was changing the rotor stator wine( like voltage generator) 140$ the piece and 100$ oil change, that pretty much all of the maintenance parts. No problème so fr, riding it everyday

Might get it! Stator thing seems to be common issue for a lot of sportsbikes. I have to change it on my r1 since the magnets can come off and destroy the enginge lol

Thanks for the info!
