mark3evo Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Having slept overnight I want to add If you put a stock Gen2 against a stock Gen3 then performance wise handling and braking Gen3 is a much better bike and you get electronics thrown in I want to be clear yes as Bruce Dunn has proved this is a fast bike 0-60 in 2.7 and 0-100 in about 5 seconds and should br enough on the road for anybody and it does it really easily but I want more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busa Harbour man Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Did you have to sign some form of "Non-disclosure agreement" to have the test ride.... perhaps your old Gen2 is just clapped-out BHM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark3evo Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 truth be told it probably has lost a bit - just as well its getting a refresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Bike magazine ran 0-60 in 2.6 and 4.92 0-100 in 2008 So it's slower, slower accelerating, you still need to re-work the suspension and replace the wheels. But you get gadgets and fridge handles. All for £16,500 and a slap in the face trade in on your faster bike. Why didn't you sign there and then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
