Because when you total up the 'necessary' items required to make the bike run properly you're staring down the barrel of between 2-3000 dollars.  I am not kidding.  Exhaust being the single largest expense.

It does transform the bike, but be aware that when you get the 'stock' bike, you are also looking at a number of accessories after the purchase which will enhance its performance.

Now take that total and compare it to BMWs, Triumph, KTMs and you may have a different idea of what you 'need' to pay for.  IMHO.

It will definitely make it better but i don't see a need to do it. I love mine and its totally stock. I'm waiting for a different exhaust to come out because normally most people install the terminogni. I don't want it to be exclusive but i want to be somewhat different. Again ill do it cause i want to. There is no problem with the bike stock. I want to know specifically why you guys say that. You might be seeing or feeling something on the bike that i don't see nor feel when i drive mine.

I can't agree more with this.  The Evo is one of the few bikes where I haven't felt like I needed to change a lot to get it where I wanted.  The only thing I felt it needed was a 14 tooth sprocket but I do a lot of city riding.  Other than that the only thing I added is a set of bar end mirrors.  (little tip, don't turn the mirror brackets upside down.  The bars are taller and the posts will hit the tank.  I got little scratch on the edge of the intake.)  The seat is fine, a first for any motorcycle I've owned.  The suspension works great for me, but I'm heavier than the average ducati owner so what is firm for everyone is is just right for me.  I want a set of pipes but I haven't seen anything I like yet so I'm just waiting.

The Evo is by far my fav bike I've owned so far, even better than my M1000 that I had years ago that nothing has been able to top.
