[LC4CARL]

What else do you guys ride (if you do)?

Not much power, but she is fairly light...

 

[LC4CARL]

I got to ride this a few days ago. It's a beastie.

What did you think?

 

[Spudley]

OK, Mr. man on an island, you've got a settle a bet. Is that candy apple red or is it orange?.

 

[Spudley]

Nice to see a “mature gentleman” like me on a Busa.

I think it's worse calling me "Sir".

Congrats! Wasn’t sure if I was going to be a fan of the color when they started showing images of the 24 but that looks really good.. that color really pops!

Sucks that the gorgeous paint sparkles do not show on camera unless it's sunny and the camera is really close.

I’d say ‘burnt orange’ :-)

You are indeed a lucky man...there's no way in heck my wife would ever do that for me.....

It' a far nicer color than the orange on my friend's Street Glide....I call it the "Noisy Pumpkin" because it's that kind of orange...and that kind of loud....

To get maximum engine braking, turn the exhaust brake to 'Off'. There are also EB settings 1 (most engine braking with the exception of just turning it off) to 3 (least engine braking).

The process is explained on page 2-60 in my '23 owners manual.

Process is on PAGES 2-60?! Wow!

 

[Berteric.]

I bet that was a blast! Especially with the supercharger chirping away! I’m fond of big Kwakas. My first big bike was a Gpz900r back in the late 80s. Ahhh good times.

My kind a guy, I also started on a Gpz900r, a real historical bike.
Nowa days, a gen 1 busa, a zzr 1100 and 1200, a Gixxr1000K9 and a Gsxs1000GT.
I kinda like that 25anniversary color, I think it really stands out.

Kawasaki is bringing the GPZ900 back....see it at 11:11

Hard to believe, but yes the process is in the Owners Manual in section 2 on page 60...

Ok. I thought you meant the process was 58 pages long.

Now that’s exciting. Thanks for putting an extra spring in my step with that news Bee

Wow Bert you are def a ‘big cubes’ guy :-). My dream gixxer is a 1000 k5 blue and white. Also really wanted a tl1000r in blue and white back in the day. I cut a pic of one out of a magazine and stuck it to my monitor for inspiration / motivation in my first sales job :-)

 

[Berteric.]

If you see it that way, yes, part of the 900 always had +1000cc, mostly sportbikes, Gixxers, R1's, Fireblade, ZX10R. Even though I have never ventured into European motorcycles, this one remains an ultimate dream

A TL R is also an iconic bike and are becoming rare, even though it never made it to a real superbike competition.

I'm confused about where the cutoff is between digital fuel manipulation and the slipper clutch. The clutch won't let any serious engine braking happen anyway, right?
