I just picked an everyday range Mark

Wished i hadn't bothered Mark
£3 - £3.5k
I wondered first whether to either, sell privately or break it for spares, then i thought i'd offer the vulcan S as that's "as new" to see where he was at
BUT he only offered the same..... for a bike that's mint with only 1000 miles on it
They currently sell for £5k minimum
That's a thief Matt, not a dealer. Worth remembering him for business once the hype has died down and they're struggling to stay afloat.

2.69 secs
Old cycle world USA road tests put the Gen1 at 2.47 secs
interestingly if you want to do 0-60 in 2.73 secs for FREE jump off a high building
What if there's an updraft and you're wearing 1970's flares?
I'd have thought that 0-60 on a bike is more about the rider's abilities than the bike. Maybe 80-140 would be a better comparison?

Bugger, he's faster than most when he's two up. Everyone will say it's the DD3
-
Who? You or Ian?
-
He didn't say if anyone pulled on the fairings looking for milk?
Glad he's happy though
-
Have you (not

) got yours yet Ian?
-
But I don't mind really. I just like having the kit.

But are you ?
My strategy is to make the bike so fast even slower rider can manage.
What if you have a faster bike but are still slower

Could they have been turned down below a level he expected?
Wasn't there a lot of criticism about F1 cards a few years back when they were considered 'easy' to drive? The active suspension, aero, traction & stability etc doing all the work and the driver just pointed it with his foot hard down on either the throttle or the brake. Get used to that then have a go with them all switched off and it would be a fun ride.
I guess it doesn't matter how good a bike you make, the rider can always crash it
-
Did the back end step out as he was accelerating out of the corner? If so, you'd better hope he had all them electronics switched off
-
Maybe they're holding back so they don't sell too many?
Seriously though, you'd think they'd be all over that.. All you Gen 2 guys, the new must have - can you imagine being at a meet and DD3 turns up? You'll have to hide and sneak home. Easy finance terms, sign here!
Maybe this is why I'm not in Marketing
Afterthought. Or, don't slag off the Gen 2, we're still selling new old stock. Once they're gone though, the marigolds come off
-
Run it against the 2 in this vid?
-
I'll print you personalised ones with your own 'special' logo
-
Should help the crash bung designers though
-
It's certainly better looking than the 2 but that's a compliment along the lines of 'you don't sweat much for a fat lass'
I'd go for a paint job to hide the fridge handles and offload the wheelie bins if I were buying one. Looking forward to seeing how it runs against the 2. Has anyone done this?
-
But you've only paid half of it.
Or put it another way, you've paid half of it and given it away for fack all.
Do people really do these deals?

Come on Ian, spill the beans and put us naysayers in our place

If every registered ukb member chipped in £5 we could share
-
The older F1 cars used to do that. I was at a hospitality event, must be 8 years ago at least, and had a seat just beside the exit from teh pit lane at Silverstone. Cars were properly loud then but that unburnt fuel at gear changes was even lounder. Was awesome at the time
, not so sure for everyday.

Selling like proverbial hot cakes apparently
Misuse of the phrase but maybe that's just us fatties Mark. Round my way, if someone makes hotcakes there's none left not half of them.
Remember that busa owners have been waiting for 13 years for a new model to replace the dog's dinner they made of replacing the one launched 9 years before that
Selling half the piddling allocation is not a success story when you've a 22 year market to sell into.
-
Was interesting up to the market pish. Yes, everyone buys a busa for it's mid range, it's all everyone talks about down the pub. Yep, that's the original design influence of the fastest predatory bird in the world being adhered to. Yes, we had to make it more reliable because those doing 250,000 (or 100,000 on here) are always breaking down.
Rubbish. They made another arse of it. Fridge-handled buggeration.

At the wheel? That'll sort the 14R guys, there'll be a raft of them on the market soon
Awaits the first proper road test
in Gen 3 Hayabusa (2021 - onwards

What did it manage Enf?
