Slap a set of mistrals on it (if it doesn't have aftermarket exhaust already).  And relish in one of the greatest soundtracks ever for a fine motorcycle.  Plus a comfortable yet still slightly aggressive seating position that is all day comfortable.  What's not to like.

+1 on the Mistrals more than once I had guys tell me the VII Sport had the best sounding exhaust, not too loud but meant business.

The Ohlins is a big plus.  I just picked up a 2004 plain Jane V11 Sport this summer.  I think you will like it!  Good luck with the test ride.
