What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

I highly recommend to lock tight the bolts on the levers. I had a nut to one bolt vibrate off and almost lost my lever for my front brake! I was lucky enough to catch it when I was in a parking lot. I had to keep pressing the bolt back in the whole way home.

The levers do look sharp!

What he said.
 
Since I installed the exhaust,deleted the o2's, deleted the pair valve/installed block offs. I sent the ecu off to get flashed. Figured now would be be a good time to install a filter and velocity stacks

Finally got around to installing the full titanium Arata exhaust I got from ss4luck. Also while I had the bike apart I installed block off plates...waiting for some more goodies but this is where we are currently

I almost bought it from him, but decided to keep the dual pipe look. Great buy, man! He barely used it.
 
I just rode 200k to test the next candidate for the empty garage spot... It has more things in common with the Busa, than I thought.

I took a short trip to pay a bill, office was closed so I get to keep my money in my pocket for another few days I took the scenic route home and stopped by one of my favorite gun shops to see what cool firearms they have in stock, then headed home. Not the best ride but a great way to spend a afternoon than driving in a acage.
 
Rode to the hills, had to avoid the Pumpkin Fest traffic. Kept riding some twisty’s, headed home as the temps were dropping, close to 200 miles without stopping. Hit a gas station near home and saw a message on my dash that said “take a break”
 
I installed a brand new Valentine V1 Gen2 radar detector!!! Yeee haw, there will be no more Bluetooth dongles because the new one has it built in. The BT dongles are buggy.
 
Such as if you please.
Yes, sure. The big and heavy certainly, but as I have seen in the dealership this is not such a heavy machine in comparison with other bikes there. In my opinion it has got the same punch from 0-80mph, you can pass whenever you want in the traffic. The suspension is great and stable and the gearing is very forgiving as it is a very revvy engine. The brakes are superb, you need mostly the rear one - same on the Busa - if you are riding normal. It is an attraction magnet, but maybe not on the 25th limited level, but it is. With the superlow weight it handles very nicely in corners as well. So all in all 0-80 mph I can say it is doing many thing similarly. Of course over 80mph it is not a fair comparison.

On the other side the comfort is decreased in comparison with the Busa as this elevated handlebar and forward controls with the super tight seat is kind of a limiting one - at least for me -. This TFT dash won't be my thing, but this is a very generic thing in favor of the next generation of riders (who are not coming as I see... anyway). Even the exhaust note I expected to be a bit better, but to be fair it has a very nice snorting sound during declaration. The rpm limiter is so intrusive, that can't be told.

In my opinion it is a bargain for this amount of money and it do everything for a 30 miles radius cafe shop runs as good as the Busa can do it. If you keep the speed limits. It will look as good as the Busa when parked next to your table.

Over 80mph or more than 60 miles trip? Or if you can have only one bike? Busa wins hands down.

This is a Scout 101 right? 111hp and around 550 lbs.....

Polaris had good experience making motorcycles with their Victory bikes so these should be decent as well..

These look like nice bikes....
