Thanks for sharing that info. That's reassuring. I always rode in the past mostly with 'Busa riders, but I've never been the type of person to ask to do bike tradesies.I have a Gen-1, Gen-2 engined B-King and a Gen-3. There is a difference but it’s not huge, there’s no dinosaur to starship improvements, the ‘22 model is really only a slow evolution of the original ‘99. I’ve had a few Kwaks too, when I jumped on a H2 SX it felt very “different”, even after predominately riding the Kwak over my Suzuki’s when I jumped on a Gen-3 it had a very familiar feel. Sure it’s a bit more refined and advanced but in some ways it was very much déjà vu of jumping on my new 2004 Gen-1 18 years earlier. I have never been a fan of the Gen-1’s “6 plop” brakes, to me that’s more stand out difference, the brakes have progressed over the years more than most of the bike.
Try and get a go on a Gen-1, I’d love to hear your views.
I baby my bikes even when going hard. I'm very conscious and intentional of what I do to them. I don't want anyone manhandling my bikes while I baby theirs.
