The only way to conquer temptation is to give in to it.

Shakespeare I think... probably when he was contemplating his next bike?

I likes this. I likes it a lot.

Mint. Power Commander. Is that a full system or just a slipon?

Probably worth what he's asking too... but that's a lot of dosh... would somebody please buy it so my wife doesn't kill me :shutup:

[imdying]

It's a little more than I'd want to pay for sure, but it's a nice bike with all the right extras... if it inspected as well as the advert reads, it should be worth a few weeks on the couch :laugh:

The pack rack and iridium screen have to go though. The screen is an unusual choice on a bike that doesn't have any garish baubles on it.

In a word, yummy :yes:

Mint. Power Commander.

Not sure I've ever met someone who needed a touch screen to adjust their fueling on the go... but hey if you want to pay that price for all the extras I'm glad I'm not your bank manager!

It also datalogs to an SD card, and allows loading maps from SD cards, plus calibrating the TPS pickup. Handy if you don't have a laptop.

Sublime.

I'd buy it just to look at too (and to listen to it running).

Um so you dont have a laptop but you have some way to load a maps on to you SD card to upload it to PCIII??? WTF...also how often do you change a map?? like never especialy if you had one custom tuned....
For the money i would rather fly to US and buy one there for 5k USD and then have it shipped over and i would still have another 8K to play around with!!

when I had a custom tuned zx10r, I had two maps I switched regularly. One for baffle, one for no baffle as it really did make a difference. I guess the lcd does have it uses. Whole bike isn't my cup of tea, but you can appreciate the effort.

ok but baffle or no baffle PCIII has buttons on it to swap between preloaded maps right so you dont need the screen with sd card reader etc. so real whats the point...also why would you ever ride with baffle in???? :D

[YellowDog]

Looks like an unusually stunnung example to me.

Good luck.

[imdying]

Um so you dont have a laptop but you have some way to load a maps on to you SD card to upload it to PCIII???It's called a computer, something most people don't have any love for dragging into the garage.

WTF...also how often do you change a map?? like never especialy if you had one custom tuned....There are people that do their own tuning, racing etc, obviously you're not one of them, so it doesn't apply to you. That doesn't actually make it a stupid idea :rolleyes:

ok but baffle or no baffle PCIII has buttons on it to swap between preloaded maps right?Wrong.

Looks like an unusually stunnung example to me.Doesn't it just :yes:

when I had a custom tuned zx10r, I had two maps I switched regularly. One for baffle, one for no baffle as it really did make a difference. I guess the lcd does have it uses.Even better than that in that situation is the multi function hub which gives you a map switch on the bar, this is more aimed at racers etc.

why would you not drag computer to the garage?, most laptops are cheap as chips anyway...
Also i like how people on the online forums assume they know someone, btw if you are doing your own racing and tunning, you definately wont be using this LCD thingie attached permanently to the bike and for sure wont be buying this $17000 VTR!!!
(have you ever seen race bike with this attached to it?? seriously!)

[imdying]

why would you not drag computer to the garage?Maybe not want drag computer to garage. Maybe wife want use computer. Maybe computer is downloading MotoGP torrents. Maybe computer not like being drag :shutup:


most laptops are cheap as chips anyway...And? What of it? Cheap laptops can datalog on the bike can they? :confused:


Also i like how people on the online forums assume they know someoneAnd I like how just because they don't like something, they automatically assume it's wrong or stupid :rolleyes:


btw if you are doing your own racing and tunning, you definately wont be using this LCD thingie attached permanently to the bikeGiven it'll connect to a wideband commander, which it'll also log, and that people do use them for this, I guess you're wrong :yes:


(have you ever seen race bike with this attached to it?? seriously!)I must admit, I've never seen one on a race bike in the flesh, but then, I only go to the track for open practice days (ok ok, except that last Nationals round at Levels, cracking day it was too). I do however have a friend in the states that uses one on his drag bike. Admittedly he has says they're not common.

OK well it's good to know the general consesnsus is that he's being a bit optimistic on price... aren't we all?

Agree with the pack rack heave ho. Maybe the screen ties in with the cans?

No need to lose sleep over my bank manager's stress levels. Don't buy toys on tick.

Thanks everyone for your input.

[Dare]

Optimistic on price yes, but also RAWRR. Someone will probably buy it if you don't! Or is that the wrong thing to say at this point..

You realy like to over-analyse shit and tell people that they are wrong, don't you??? :D

Just admit it, LCD screen for PCIII is total overkill and "more money than sense" purchase...to be honest if he took the 300 USD it must have cost him and used the money to have bike dyno tuned and suspension properly adjusted it would have been money not wasted ....and bike would be actualy faster around race track/on the road, but then again no squids would be impressed with those mods at the local starbucks during cafe possing session, now would they? ;o)
(that goes for all the squids impressed with it while buying the bike as well....)

(that goes for all the squids impressed with it while buying the bike as well....)Yeah, you've probably got me there :D But I will say that I've learnt that lots of people enjoy bikes in lots of different ways.

I know of two (the Dynojet support guy mentioned there's a man in South Africa also, so maybe three) guys that are using them to populate data for their home brew virtual dyno software. The idea goes that you can take suck data out, sort it into runs, the software makes a suggested map, you take it for another ride, and it compares the runs to find out which places improved (or hurt) the actual on road performance, and then the cycle repeats to you're happy/lose interest. Alternatively they can get it to keep pulling out fuel till you get a map as economical as possible, but with as little degredation to performance as possible. I wonder if Dynojet must have gone through similar ideas on their way to the PCV Autotune. That might not seem a whole lot of fun to most people, but people get their jollys in different ways.

I can't argue against a more money than sense purchase, I have too many of those myself :shifty: It looks like it's been pretty well pampered though, wouldn't be surprised if it's money spent over and above tuning/suspension work rather than in place of. Nice to have money eh :rockon:
