Watch a movie called "Keith codes - twist of the wrist 2" will help you out more than any mods ever will!

Mods all boil down to how deep are your pockets ??? and then its priorities and what you want out of life ?? or should I say out of your bike ?? do you want performance ?? or do you want the look ??

People who want looks tend to swap the front and rear mudguards for the YZ style ones which are about 30 quid each on ebay. Some people go for a an after market headlight unit which are also around the same, some are more expensive.

Graphics kits are popular for around £100 from D&D online

Fork gaitors often get changed. Acerbis do a nice nice set of neoprene covers.

The rear numberplate holder/light unit gets changed. again acerbis is popular.

Handguards

Chopping the rear panels yourself to make them more streamline/motocross looking

 

Others opt for performance with things like..

Upgraded Reeds or reedblocks

Installing the YPVS if not already there

swapping the cylinder head for a high compression 3MB version if not already done

Gutting the standard pipe to remove restrictions

replacing pipe with sports pipe (could also come under looks)

 

Some of those arent so much cheap and cheerful but gives you an idea of some mods that many people do
