Looks very fresh, it must have massive torque!? And you're getting some nice weather too.
Any plans for it or leave it like it is?

Yeah, the low and mid end power is damn nice.

I'm probably going to leave it stock since I am taking it to Germany and they have pretty strict laws over there regarding what aftermarket parts you can use on your bike. Although I might get frame sliders (hopefully I won't need them) and a different set of mirrors (bar-end?). The set the last owner installed are way to narrow for me so I can't even see behind me without moving my head to one side or the other.

Happy for you, looks fun

And yes, they are pretty strict about modifications to cars/bikes. Will you be in the service over there?
