just the way my neighbours and i get on.... one leant me his stretch hummer for a nieces birthday years ago...didn't even ask if i knew how to drive a 35ft long car.
It was quite funny to see the neighbours face when he took the helmet off...hes a big lad at 6ft3 and probably 220lbs but he was almost shaking and white as a sheet. Claimed he went to overtake 1 car the way he usually did on his 1290 by dropping a few gears and ended up passing 4 before he realised it.
He loved the simplicity of the left toggle for the dash systems compared to the KTM and his previous Multistrada.
His only dislike was the seat height as hes got so use to bikes with 900mm+ seats and couldn't see over traffic as easily ....probably why his Fireblade is being sold.

@BusaDawg1 has pretty much all the gen 3 videos posted as soon as they hit YouTube
. Hopefully he'll be making some of his own and posting them once he gets his.

Even the new ZX10 is an absolute monster.

Agreed. Watched a couple of reviews about them. Even comfortable of the track according to one review..
All the new liter bikes are monsters.....power to weight ratio is hard to beat...they all have more power and less weight than a Hayabusa even though it's torque figures are much higher, the liter bikes get to speed so quickly it's too hard to catch them.
That being said, I certainly wouldn't want to daily ride a liter bike.

That is correct, different kettle of fish. I added a bar conversion to the L7 and even though it’s quick straight from the crate, the ported head and stage 2 cams makes it even more exciting.
Wish shipping would hurry up for the same weight loss treatment as the LE.

At first I thought I was as out of touch as can be. This shows that the CBR gets to 180 mph/300 km/h nine seconds faster than a Hayabusa. Nine seconds? That is ridiculous. Then I began looking for references to back up my instinct.
From MotorbikeCatalog the catalog of Motorcycles, motorbike specs database
CBR: 0-300 km/h (s): 22.4 (the video says 14.10)
This tester must be referencing a typically inaccurate bike speedometer as that 14 secs is about right for 270 km/h and not 300 km/h. In reality it takes eight seconds for the CBR to gain the last 30 km/h.
There was a reason Rad Greaves mocked up a Hayabusa against race replicas.
An Internet search indicates that the Hayabusa gets to 180 mph in about 21 seconds, slightly faster than the CBR (The Hayabusa's time in the video is close.)
The result of this video is similar to the guy who put a 50 tooth sprocket on, showed the speedo but blurred the street view, and claimed he was doing 250 mph as he moderately passed Pintos on the freeway. You know the video that I am talking about.
.....and 345kms/hr....it must have a jet engine attached on the back somewhere....
When you come through Vegas......stop and say hello.

That’s about the saddest thing I have seen so far… they couldn’t even update the bike enough to out-drag a Fireblade… omg Suzuki how could you?

If I spent 30k on a honda race bike it better beat a busa off the line its over 150lbs lighter and when a busa costs half the price lol. And those videos are mash ups from some kid let's wait till it's real side by side with a real rider still hangs until the end just wait till ecu is flashed and gets rid of that euro 5 bs...
