Ok, so it's a big fat heavy pig.
My '99 Gen 1 runs rings around it.
Way too smooth in the power delivery . . doesn't even feel like you are riding a motorcycle.
The exhaust note is virtually inaudible, my Gen 's Akra at least sounds like a Busa should sound.
It does look good though . . . . but $29,000 is way more than I wanna pay.

Sooooooo . . . . . . am I disowned??

Come on Man! Its not that heavy... it never claimed to be a lightweight... did it?
Run circles around it? What does circles look like ? What ET have you run on your Gen 1?
Most performance motorcycles can use an exhaust upgrade... my Gen 1 has a Yosh 4 into one and I think that is the best bang for the buck performance wise. My buddies says it sounds mean... Other that that a simple plug and play Ivan's retarder which tells the ECM its in 5th gear all the time. That is it for now... plenty of power for my desires.

Good looks? Will see if Gen 3 grows on me... Gen 1 done tastefully still looks the best to me.

$29,000? WTH? I thought is was around 20K...

Disowned? No... not even close... you have to buy a Harley and tell us your going to out perform us at the track first so we can all laugh. I got to give Harley credit though for finding ways to sell those over priced under performing relics with antiquated crankshaft design from 60+ years ago... At least they figured out 4 valves are better than 2.

Lets assume for a minute you like ZR-1 Corvettes built between 1990 and 1995 like I do. On the ZR-1 Net is a crowd of about 600+ members all over the world but mostly in the USA that own these pedigree of C4 Corvette. Collectively speaking many people know about certain cars, their owners, and the cars history and can learn in advance about a specific ZR-1 that interest them. This is just one niche in the world of performance cars... there are others.

If I go to someones place to look at a car or a motorcycle I check out everything that is easily visible. How and where somebody lives tells you a lot about how they take care the motor vehicles they own.

Buying at auction or at a dealership is where the mystery is the biggest... lease returns are usually pretty solid but not priced as well as private party cars on average.

People buy and sell cars and motorcycles for a multitude of reasons... it's not always because of problems.

Well... it shouldn't be too long before those numbers are reversed.. our printing presses are the biggest and fastest in the world... followed by Uruguay where they recently busted somebody with 20 million of counterfeit USA $100 bills. That is only about 15 shoe boxes full. Those pallets at the US mint have 66 million a piece on them. its all funny money now... except for those of us that work for it.

no not at all, everyone's entitled to their own opinion that's cool, the gen 2 is probably recognized for its size/shape i get a lot of comments on that she's a big girl so is the gen3 no news there . i see the front tyre is a virtually new tyre so she hasn't got any ks on the clock, a review is supposed to be a good half to an hour not up the street and back
 
Got me excited for a second.... where's the new videos at suzuki! Least the chip shortage isn't effecting gen 3... still receiving in june.
