It is, apparently, the unrestricted one, so no paltry slowing down at 186mph affraidaffraid

I'm at Uni tomorrow so will try and get them on via photobucket or such. Fingers crossed thumbs

Well done.. thumbs

I like them.

I had one for sale recently, had a few plays on it.
They go real well, made a few more ponys than
a Busa but the Busa crept away top end,
(but only at VERY silly speeds)
Better brakes than a Gen1 Busa.
Nice riding position too.

Wasnt keen on the frame being the airbox
but thats not a drama unless you like chopping
and changing stuff, pod filters or turbo.

This was the one I had...

I think the restriction is only a top end speed cap.



If its unrestricted that'll make it a year 2000 model ?

If they're anything like a lot of other bikes
de-restricting a later one costs about 20p
with a resister from Tandys.

I won't be putting turbos or such on this, will be left well alone Very Happy Don't think it needs one Shocked

It is a 2000 model, 'W' reg. Right, pictures.

Laptops here won't read the USB, have to try on one of the main terminals. We'll get there, just need to bear with me. censored computers head banghead bang

That's the problem with you older ones, you sometimes forget things scratchscratchfoflfofl

Green is always faster than blue. Same as red is the fastest Suzuki colour hidefoflfofl

And yes it's VERY different to the Bandit. brought it back from Haltwhistle yesterday (Sunday) in the rain. It dried out on the A68, near Tow Law/Toft Hill (local lads know where I mean) and I managed to open her up a little affraidaffraidaffraid

I think it'll take a little getting used to clapclap Should be good fun though Twisted EvilTwisted Evil

Thanks to all for the comments (apart from Tony & Grumpyowl obviously. Don't recognise the blinding speed of the green. Yet! Twisted Evilfoflfofl )

Hoping to get her out for an hour or two over the weekend. Will try and get a few more pics, better lit. ie outside thumbs

Definitely going to get the wheels done green, see what it looks like ShockedLaughing

And it's gone! The Bandit has been passed to a fellow biker who will care for her and look after her. The Suzuki has now officially left my life Sadtumble weed

Bring on the weekend thumbscheerscheersapplauseapplause
