from the brief bits of twisty fun i've had the Gen 3 is much more keen to roll into a bend ...could be the tyres but feels easier overall and having the brakes and QS just makes it fun. Linked brakes may be physically there but damned if i can tell

Did I read Suzuki changed the steering geometry a little?
 
UK bikes have a slight niggle exhaust wise... the system is similar design to the Gen 1 with full downpipes back to the end cans...so any setups available at the moment with their own link pipes won't work...we're stuck with either bespoke end cans that maybe have alternative heat shields , a full system or stay stock.
 
Same dyno, two different gen's, so the comparison is accurate.
The Gen2 may have pushed a few more ponies if it was new with enough miles to be loosened up, but still with clean combustion surfaces inside the motor.

I would trust Suzuki’s numbers.

I'd say since they are pretty much the same engine, their output would be similar...

Factory says 188bhp for gen 3 and 194bhp for gen 2, I personally wouldn't be able to tell the difference of a few hp. But would be able to tell if the power comes on earlier in the power band though.
 
What wankers it's UK but he put 2022 what a jerk not cool... well at least he goes full mach 1 on her!
I see it stalling out at 280 kph. I have buried the speedo and hit the limiter at 5000 feet on my Gen 2 3 times. The tach marches right up to redline in 1 to 5 and takes a bit to the limiter in 6th. I wonder if Suzuki has a more accurate speedo on the Gen 3 because the Gen 2s have a a 9% error to the high side. Granted we hardly ever peg out our Busas, but I'm wondering just how much the Gen 3 gives up on the high side. Regardless, I plan on purchasing a Gen 3 this Fall.
