Fair point Ian......get your 100000 miler on the Dyno Mark. It would be interesting to see if it's lost any ponies

Well youll Well you'll have to ask them. Maybe Mark has the answer there. Apparently York say 300 busas in the UK. 200+ sold. Every dealer was supposed to have at least one in stock plus a demo. They're down to 15 demos to share between all the dealers in the UK. Nine in stock at dealers. Any stock left is in Milton Keynes to be delivered to dealer once sold. I'm going to wait til a year or before John etc have had a proper look.at one.

If the new wheel is replaced with a better-flowing Akrapovic full piping and possibly a better-flowing air filter, then the mixture should be much better in place even without adjustment. It is expected that the power increase will be significant. In addition, Akrapovic has this time chosen a clearly larger primary pipe for the entire bus system in Busan than in previous models. In the piping of the previous model, the small diameter of the initial curve was the reason why not all the horsepower contained in the engine could be released on the Akrapovic piping. Thus, at this stage, it seems that the engine of the new Hayabusa is more efficient as standard than the previous model, and in addition, a significant increase in power is expected with the replacement of the piping and the possible adjustment of the mixtures.

No i was just wondering.....dealer says be nice to it 600 miles, don't rev it blablabla Seems like Finnish Dyno guy says it's ok

@JOHN-DYNOSTAR Muppet question, is that wise running in a bike this way

No replies 😂

We left it that he's going to call me in about 2 weeks time. I was both reeling and stunned. By then I'll have gathered my thoughts and have something "nice" to say to him @roddy a thief indeed Mr Suzuki offered me iirc something like £6-£6.5k for mine not long before they closed on a px if the gen 3 were a thing back then. So i was expecting not less than £5k. I need to do some research to see what its actually worth. I was apparently knocked down on the fact that i hadn't serviced it this year / it needs a new rear tyre and there's a couple of scratches on the fairing that I've covered up. Because of that i offered the vulcan to see where he was at. When he said about the same, i knew exactly. Please be careful of any dealer selling Suzuki's near where i live , not that they're all bad....just the one, so far

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

Just asked for a trade in price

5 minutes in......brakes seem to work

I see 3 Allen keys Where's the rest

@KRL C'mon spill the beans

Please tell me you've bought one

True, or could be accurate

That's not so bad. Approximately 189 til empty. I could live with that

No, we have never done that or filmed ourselves for an insurance company to put onto youtube

Blimey, he went past my front door and i think he earned a few points on his licence several times

I suppose with other makes offering just 3 levels of TC instead of 10, he/she may have assumed position 1 would be equal to other makes, when possibly the busas position 3 would be the same as level 1 ......so busa (10 levels) other makes ( 3 levels ) 1 = crash or OFF 3 = 1 5 = 2 10 = 3 But yes as Roddy says, a rider makes it happen, or not

Yes I saw that. I wonder if he was expecting the electronics to catch the slide when it was practically switched off. I'm guessing 1 is the least intrusive setting.

From IT department..... while video is playing, press "c" the french subtitles come up Immediately press the settings cog thingy and select translate to English You're welcome Since looking at the commentary, google translate doesn't really cut it

Probably for the same reason I was able to buy my k8 in 2007

Yes but the journalists do like to turn these things off. Maybe it was also cold tyres @Fester can you translate the video where the guy crashes please?

I'd like to know the answer to that one Mark
