The v1 skips across ripples etc with ease whereas my v2 flicks it back up a bit erraticly.
The v2 has loads more steering to the point where i am running almost bald staggers on the with foams on the rear.
The v1 is way more calmer and forgiving but the v2 can be thrown around loads more and will be much quicker on high grip.
You just have to ask yourself if 260 odd quid or thereabouts is worth it for the new awesome back end though.I say yes
