Thanks! Maybe I will go for the AC front lip rather than the whole M5 Kit.....$$$$$$.
BTW, I am interested to install the M-style Steering wheel, does anyone here installed? May I know around how much and where can I get it?

Get the M5 one with the paddle shift, I bet is around the same money with the M5 one being a bit more expensive but you get to use the paddle shift. Check out a member call my530i. He installed a M5 steering wheel with paddles and the M5 shift knob into his steptronic 550i, really cool.

Yeah, two years or so from now I should be able to handle a superbike. 
Did u take any refresher lessons here in HK before u bought ur bike? I would like to get back into riding but I dont hv my license anymore. Is it easy to get in HK? Last I rode was 15 years ago...hehe. Any tips on how I may get back into the game here in HK? My last bike was a 250 too, but a Kawasaki.
Cheers

I think getting a bike license is pretty easy here too except you might get a bit nervous when is exam time.
If you have your a bike license from another country you can just get one here in HK without going through test but I don't think HK is a good place for beginners to ride, too much traffic.
I am planning to get a Harley when I am 50 so I start to ride now to prepare
