you can see where the Design A team was working.

we had Design Team C:

Suzuki Japan care home engineers, should have got some younger engineers - by 30 years

Same opportunity they missed in 2008 Mark.  I felt the same disappointment with the 2 as you do with the 3.

It's a real shame but it looks like they've done the same thing again.  No money to spend so they've tweaked the existing bike to meet new regs and tried to convince everyone that it's new.  Hill start, ffs!

I'd have loved to see a short stroke big bore rev happy motor, something like a gen 1 63mm stroke with 86mm offset bores - 1464cc would have had me at their door.  All fits within the existing frame and bodywork.

So that's it then John, on with Project Swansong

My takeaway from that video is the Japanese designers took the "if it ain't broke don't fix it approach".... again.

..."the gen 1 was such a big hit....."

no meado you miss the meaning 

one jap said "he expects many owners will own all 3"

Maybe something not suitable for your needs,

you have to discuss that with JD,

i am not sure what he was after

 

ok

What a bunch of muppets , JD would say.

Gen3 was approved by 61 year old Toshihiro Suzuki who ran it to 112mph , "was immediately impressed"

They tried big blocks, 6 cylinder, turbo`s , but decided to go with the old design, oh man...

Styling designer Takumi Takano looks like he had a electric shock while smoking weed.

 

 

 

 

Suzuki are being politically correct - all cars and bikes are limited to 112 mph in Japan 

its the world we live no more 'willy waiving'    speed is now a dirty word in Automotive marketing

I might have a block for you, it needs the overbore and replate job, then as new. I would suggest also upgrade the cams, as i am sure you would appreciate the upper range.

thanks Mika, do you have a spare head floating around in your parts store ?

[Dead DUCK 3 , DD3, The new generation GEN 3]

Just taking the More powerful Gen2 out for a bimble 

mines also got 'fly by wire' technology.......it has 2 wire cables with no hesitation

Does it fit normal sized blokes, or is it again just for sub 6ft midgets ?

Yes does suit the short arse - bars 12mm closer to rider for 'better control'

[Dead DUCK 3 , DD3, The new generation GEN 3]

all i want to say is been waiting 10 years, 

John F Kennedy said in 1961 by the end of the decade man will walk on the moon , he did it a year early 

Suzuki Japan 10 years on have gone backwards, they missed the opportunity to take the lead 

[Dead DUCK 3 , DD3, The new generation GEN 3]

yes it's me again was gonna go for a 35 mile hard cycle - but can't be bothered 

might go get some Belgian beers  after lunch

not even a fecking mention of improved front and rear suspension, what's that all about, they must know STOCK Gen2 is as lardy as fuck

Euro 5 - red hot headers from ultra lean burn, and still less economic, extra rubber mounts on steering to hide the Gen2 4,5k revs vibrations

 

MikaS you got a spare GEN1 block and head lying about,  i see a project for John  during next winter '22 lockdown 

Should make then 200,000 miles

comments from a US Hayabusa die hard 

CONGRATULATIONS !!! ZERO increase in engine displacement.

I have never...NEVER, witnessed such lazy and cowardly company "effort".

A complete and utter fucking FAILURE to seize and control a market.

Ugly ass plastics, 7hp loss, some stupid useless electronics with an unjustified higher price.

WTF???

in the days of Euro 5 strangling every other quality brand has managed to increase Power and performance by design allowing as John says for electronics to aid  rather than reduce 

Ducati V4, beemer S1000rr they are all better with Euro5

why didn't the lazy gits add VVT to give low down whilst upping top end  

the GIXXER thou has the great ball bearing principle VVT simple but effective...

what was all the patented designs bull shit , maybe for Hill start

How can it be worse on fuel and more economic at the same time 

typo from mobile phone

MCN worse on fuel from 50mpg to 42 mpg  

that won’t suit BHM DD3 176 miles from tank   he gets 245miles with his 19/40 gearing
