Gen 3 Latest report ..
- Thread starter bigdr
- Start date
Heck, I felt the same way back in 2005 when they were delivering it to my home on a trailer......
do you feel the need to switch to after market exhaust? considering it suits the silver bike.. how's the exhaust note?

Here’s to hoping they fixed the raised concerns on that platform.
Owned a brand new model and it was borderline dangerous with the sensitive throttle, poor running even after being mapped and pogo stick handling.

Exhaust is relatively muted but in many ways I like it... Very relaxing when not pushing on but many will want a deeper note.
I don't like the akra cans that are shown in some videos but yoshi may well make something affordable soon enough once they see what the worldwide take up of the Gen3 is.

No hint of any of it on my bike, throttle feels analogue and smooth even during low speed tight turns or mid corner pick up

Hmmm interestsing. I got one of the very first to land here in Aus, tried to smooth out the throttle response best we could.
Hopefully they use the new GSXR engine instead as everyone else does with their naked range and knock the power down abit, time to put the K5 engine to bed.

Do motorcyclists have erectile dysfunction? A preliminary study - PubMed
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between motorcycling and erectile dysfunction (ED). We investigated the relationship between motorcycling and erectile function using the 5-items version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF5) in 234 motorcyclists...

I wouldn’t ride it.

That needs to become available through the dealer channels, why not have a handful of each colour or allow it to be an option when buying.

The video was very revealing and keyed in on some of the good points that make the Gen 3 a winner for an overall fun and confident riding experience. Having more mid range is nice because that is where I ride most of the time anyway. The only downside for me is the styling... it hasn't grown on my yet because I am still infatuated with the looks of the Gen 1. Suzuki got it right when they styled the fairing in the wind tunnel and went for the lowest CD. Perhaps the Gen 3 is slippery and we just don't know it yet. For me the Gen 2 styling is on the busy side and has never really excited me the way the Gen 1 did when it first came out. Especially with that classic Gen 1 style hump that you could spot even when one passed you going the other way. When a Gen 1 is slightly modded, has a sharp paint scheme, has a 4 into one Yosh and a carbon can it really looks like it needs to be on a pedestal in a living room somewhere when its not on the road. Some designs in both cars and motorcycles seem to have a timeless age factor that always looks good. In general I believe Suzuki did the right tweaks to increase the fun factor and carry forward the image of what a good sport bike in this class has become.

For the older riders out there... New review! I like the end in which he says with the way the world is going the lucky ones will have one before the final curtain call and he basically said it's viagra on 2 wheels! Chris went so fast since the last video he aged 40 years...

You can hear a big difference with the use of the quick shifter...not having to clutch and roll off the throttle when accelerating makes a huge difference...I know it sure does with my bike.
I personally believe this is the last of the hyper bikes as we know them.
