What\'s The Buzz?

This buzz was installed by Suzuki to let you know that your about to enter hyperspace at warp 8, so when you feel this, hold on real tight,the warp thruster's are going to kick it any second.....Yaahoo!!!!!

I asked for a one to ten scale rating.

 

[OB_Hapo]

...c'mon! I could say 3 and you could say 8 about the same bike! Scale this!(pun intended)

 

[OB_Jay Mack]

I'd say that's about a two!

I know they're supposed to buzz. It's an in-line four after all. But, for a four with a balance shaft, mine buzzes alot! Like mu GS1100E, or more. It starts at 4600 and never really stops. Way more than my BMW K bikes, which didn't have balance shafts and were roundly criticised. Is mine buzzing TOO much?
Now tell me, on a scale of one to ten, how much does yours Buzz? Mine's about an eight.

It's normal for the Busa to buzz between 4000 and 5000 rpm.That is where the emissions are tested so Suzuki designed the computer to sort of detune the bike at that rpm range.It should go away once you pass 5500 rpm.

That is normal for this bike...the buzzing drops in intensity after about 5000 rpm, but gets strong again at about 10,000rpm under full throttle...I use that buzz to keep from exceeding 95 mph on the highway by mistake...I find cruzzen at about 120 mph pretty smooth, though, compared to other bikes at that speed...

Geez Jay, where's your sense of humor?

Mine used to be a NINE.
I recently sold my Honda CBR 1000F,
Now the suzi is about a 2.
If you want silky, electric motor smooth, ride red.
