    Goodbye SP1, Hello Bus

    It's official:

    My SP1 has been sold for a good price.
    I am now joining the Suzuki Bus club (seems to be getting quite popular nowadays aye?) with a Blue/Silver Canadian model I can call my own.

    Just need to workout a bit to counter the enormous size since I am only 60kg

    Surely a great power-to-weight ratio aye

    It's surprising how I felt more like riding a Fireblade, despite the weight and size. Blackbird actually felt much larger and harder to turn.

    We'll see how the Bus goes in SH22 soon :spudwave:

    welcome to the club you will soon learn that twisting that throttle anywhere, in any gear, at any time, is just about as much fun as you can have with your right hand......

    congrats..

    I don't think you can do the 22 any more tho, since the bus is a straight-line train, you'll be harnessing the greatness of another road.. called SH1....

    be careful what you say about being straight line machines, cause except for the REAL tight stuff, 22/coro/kaimai etc are breakfast for the bus.

    Yes, Marty is right.

    I was with you , Buggy. But I was surprised on how the Bus handled on my test ride. That was why I chose it over the 2G cheaper immaculate red Ducatti 916 biposto.

    True it will be much slower than my SP1. But I don't think it is slow in any way.

    oh c'mon......don't fret.
    Just because my bike is bigger than yours doesn't mean your penis is bigger than mine.

    I might let you try it if you promise to be gentle.








    ....and if you behave nicely, I might even let you try the bike too

    Nah, a haybusa Zed
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    WHAATT? It's a GSXR?

    Okay, I succumbed to the temptation. But at least it's not another Gixer 1K K17.


    And now, the line up from the first to the current. Blade, SP1 and Bus.

    I'll take actual pictures when the weather improves.

    MR, thank's again for your help mate.
    Looking forward to ride again with ya.

    Zed: want to try?
