Best Upgrade: "It would have to be the full race Akro system mated to the PC3."
Favorite Aspect: "The 954 may be dated to modern liter bike standards, but she can hold her own with most of them. It shines when put to the test in the twisties. Hot entries into corners are easily forgiven on this bike. The lightweight and shorter wheelbase are a great combination for exits under power. The bike remains calm when backed in or the front end decides to slide a little. This bike was purchased for one thing--as stress relief and to try and straighten every corner in the State of Oregon!"
