Pretty much everyone I know that has done this has taken it off for lack of drivability.

The bike became so twitchy when rolling on that it made it hard to ride. People have this on their bike, go to the track, mid corner they roll on and the bike jumps.

Yea, due to the advanced timing in the lower gears. From what I understand you get 5th gear timing.

I had the TRE on my 02 750. It was a little twitchy getting back on the throttle coming out of turns but not horrible.

R&D with modern technology have come a long way in the sportbike market and the new models seem to be pulling very decent power/torque #'s outta the box with the restrictive intake & exhaust systems, but aside from the sound and slight weight difference in the aftermarket world, if it aint broke don't fix it.
