@JD0x0 You're definitely right about the ECU tune. As for the gearing, I'm not knowledgeable enough to offer an opinion, but I know there are numbers of people who would agree with you. I did NOT know the SE came different!
Ooooh, sadness. On the Dragon, and similar roads nearby, the center line is sacred ground - you don't put your tires on it. True, some curves allow full vision, but you pretty much just need to go into the road pretending the stripe is a wall. Do that, and then have a blast. :)
@iamwutiam Yes, I am. :)
