Rigsey Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hi all, Just signed up on here today to see what you all think of the Gen 3 as I have been waiting in anticip.......ation for this one, got up early to watch it live, the new bonkers Hayabusa gen 3 then......oh is that it. I had an L5 Gen 2 for 3 years and 16000 miles but chopped it in for an L8 GSXR 1000 as I do closed circuit days at the Nordschleife and had found the limits of the Busa from a ground clearance and weigh perspective so the new GSXR seemed like the way to go but I do miss the sheer grunt of the Gen 2 and was considering returning to the fold. I was hoping for 200 BHP and a significant weight saving instead they give us less power, a mere 2kg weight saving, a shed load of electronics we will never use and poorer economy. Considering they did such a good job on the GSXR, 199 BHP and 203 KG, returns 50 mpg on the road (Track time is a different story) how could they get this so wrong. Having said that I still want to ride one to see what its like but feel that there will be a lot of ex demos hanging about at the end of the year. Yours disappointedly Rigsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
