My still new-to-me 2004 R1150R seems to have adequate suspension. As a newbie rider with something around 2.5k miles between two bikes since I started riding, I don't really know what to look for in determining whether to upgrade the shocks, or whether to upgrade at all.
I saw a discussion recently on shocks/suspension and the suggestion was to check out HyperPro StreetBox shocks to improve handling and the feel of the bike. So, the question begs of spending the money on a bike that has about 18.5k miles on it.
Would love input and experience with upgrades. Is it really worth spending the $1,200+ on front and rear shocks, especially with the quoted mileage?
I‘m 5’ 11” and 176 lbs, don’t ride with a passenger and no significant extra load on the bike.
