That tank range and fuel consumption was a real deal killer for me. I wonder if a reflash of the ECU or a Power Commander would make a difference because it does seem unbelievable bad on fuel. Like it's petrol cooled!
But what a ride. I had a shot on one last year and it was spellbinding. Loved it. So flickable and even with standard pipes, that exhaust note was just perfect.
Thats why i still have my gen 1. V4 is purely for weekend blasts.
If it's broken, it's not fixed.

Yup. Great low to middle but shite up top imo. I like the scream of a 4 up top. The only triple's i kinda liked was the 1050 sprint and the rocket. The rocket is an absolute behemoth of a bike. Quicker than most litre sports bikes up to 70/80. Limited to 140 tho so a bit of a shame.
Just flapping about on this stagnant little pond on the outer rim of the internet.....yup.... :-))
it looks totally wank lol
I like the looks, not enough to swap but I like it..
Cross plane would be interesting to have a spin with.
Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
Not for me either...looks like something Suzuki would have made :lol :lol :lol
If you want to give God a good laugh, tell him your plans.
