Bike is still running well with the cam in with the exception of some motor issues. Probably close to 3500 miles on it now.
Very strong and still has great punch despite the motor having a smoking issue. I think a re-ring will be in order as it's the same issue as when Coopz had his Bandit (full-on mosquito patrol). It's getting a bit worse so this winter the motor's coming out again and it's getting freshened up.
I ride with a bunch of guys from the Monster forums and have no trouble keeping up or even going head-to-head down the street. Most ride S2Rs so the little Bandito can hang with the literbikes just fine. When I first went out with them, it was definately running out of steam but now certainly not the case.
