Yup, heated grips, no cruise control, street tyres stay, I want to use it as a commuter (90kms a day) and touring once I retire soon.Oh my god ...
Probably has heated hand grips and cruise control
Lose the street tires
Had I kept my Strom, I was gonna test out Tractionators
(and congrats, too)
I'm picking up a Carbon R77 Yoshi slip on today, along with a main stand and a Give air flow screen, I'm looking at rear panniers and racks also.Ok so whats on the mod list?
There's a top of the line Nitron shock near new that the original owner has for sale, but he wants 900 bucks for it so I'll think on that one, the OEM shock on the bike currently has only 1500kms on it so it's working well.
I purchased the bike from the shop I work at on behalf of the owner, he bought it new, so I'm the second owner.
Just to clarify re the original owner,He had taken all the after market parts off prior to putting it on the show room floor for sale, and is now offering them for sale to me. I'm meeting him today to look over the parts and choose what I want.
I see a Rostra cruise in your near future.
Now. . . Let the mods begin!
Poor old Busa sits under cover whilst I’m obsessing over the Strom. . .
I gave her a pat and whispered lullabies in her Akra lol.

Busa is sitting there saying, “I never thought this man would Lower his standards that low with such low HP, ugly and ordinary mistress”.
LMAO, and this is coming from a guy with a Concours bwahahahahhahahaha!!Busa is sitting there saying, “I never thought this man would Lower his standards that low with such low HP, ugly and ordinary mistress”.
Whatdya think your Busa's thinking when she looks over at that Kawasickie . . . at least I covered my Busa's eyes . .
NOOOOOOOO……..
I’m getting a super bike bar and top yoke kit for the Busa, and I will carry on enjoying that gorgeous engine as much as possible.
I’ve spent years refreshing that bike and it will not sit idle, and I have no plans to sell it either… it’s basically a family member now and we have been through a lot together out on the road.
In July it will be 9 years of owning that old ‘99.

No, I don't do turbo motorcycles . . . a bit too dangerous (power wise) for me.
Would be too easy to wheelie and flip over lol.
Also, setting up a fueling and ignition timing map would take ages, and I don't have the time for that.
unless there's one already available to purchase. . . . hmmmmm??
I think I heard the busa call the kawi an ugly, fat bit$& the other day.
You know the Busa is always right, replace the Kaw ASAP!I think I heard the busa call the kawi an ugly, fat bit$& the other day.
I replaced my Concours with another Gsxr1000...no regrets!
Some pics of the Strom in the big park in Christchurch, nice green summer setting…
Yeah, it's a real mile muncher for sure . . best thing about it is the Suzuki reliability and longevity, fantastic bike, great engine (proven) and excellent brakes, suspension, chassis, it has ABS and traction control.
I just can not fault it.
