Congrats on the bike Stan thumbsthumbs

Fancied a busa, but couldn't quite stretch to the money. Still I've got the ZX12 and more than happy with it! thumbsthumbsthumbs

By the way. No racing with Jezza to see who's fastest shake finger I'd only have to pass you both to settle the argument clapfoflclapfofl

this ones one of the first ones made so no restrictions affraid


Restricted / unrestricted is no big deal.
Most folk will never hit the top end anyway.
I "derestricted" both of mine for 20p,
its just a 6.8ohm resister.

What DOES make the early unrestricted models
more desireable is their 200mph speedo... thumbs

Later Busa's got a stronger subframe and a
better ECU and a few minor mods, but I'd be
happy to have a clean tidy '99 model in the shed.

Low vin-number Copper / Gold '99's are getting
collectable, I know of more than one person
who's putting one back to original.

WTF is with all the comments " this forum won't go the same as the bandit forum " I think sometimes people on here forget that a lot of us on here met DUE to that forum. Also you'll find that most of the upsets on there are because of difference of opinions and since they have over 5600 members and there are less than 1000 on here you'll see why. Let's see what it's like on here when the member count reaches similar figures.
I joined here because a friend of mine started it and since I no longer own a Suzuki my interest on a bike specific forum weaned as well as me wanting to show my support to a new and fresh forum.
I now think its time for a break.

The rear indicator lenses take a few
seconds to change.

The front one's have been known to keep
people busy a little longer the first time
they do them.... Laughing

I think if money was no object, I would spend a lot of money completely tricking out my TL. Radial GSXR 1000 forks, magnesium rims, dyno tuned thottle bodies, remapped ECU, the lot. Maybe even another respray in black and red would look nice with the gold foks and rims. I know theres 'faster' bikes out the but 100'Lb of torque makes it fun anywhere, and being a lanky sod the bike still fits me, unlike the modern day sports bikes.

I would also have a BMW F800ST for commuting, as 70mpg sounds a lot better than the 28mpg I'm getting out of the TL. Add to this easier maintanence due to the the belt drive and you're onto a winner. And it's still a nice high bike for comfort with a good amount of grunt to stop it from being too boring! banana
