Or you could do like the other bikes, put a huge tumor beneath the bike and bolt on a small pipe out the side of it. Trouble with that, requires you to replace the entire system if you want any performance and weight loss benefits. This? Take the canister off and the cat goes away. Welcome to the new emissions standards.

I just can not wait until I get my newest ride. When the time comes, I must say it will be hard to decided exactly which bike I would love to get. Now a days, it seems that the Japanese bikes are just as expensive as the italian bikes. So I guess it comes down to what you really want in your ride. Just great to always see new innovations and how different bike companies just keep on pushing the bar higher and higher. Definitely a great time to own any newer bike. Technology, and all that innovation available to the common person. Just have to hope we do not kill ourselves, or out do our skill set. Afterall it is great to have a nice ride, but also a nice life to go with it. Keep it coming!!

I've watched Kevin from his early SB days with the three rides on a Yosh. GS 700ES in the Calif.races only Yoshimura did that year, I believe he won all three of them ! And even remember him on that FJ600 in 1984 during Endurance racing !! He was my favorite rider, to bad in his early days he didn't know how to relax and not have to go Balls out all the time, he crashed leading many times and it cost him the 1987' SB Championship and the 1989' 500 GP won also. I just can't believe how aged he looks !!! I'm 60 now and he looks much older than me Lol.

Bzzzzzzt. Wrong. He co- rode in the 2013 Suzuka 8 hour race to a 3rd place finish. www.crash.net/motogp/news/194004/1/schwantz-rolls-back-the-years-with-suzuka-podium.html He runs a successful road racing race school and rides in selected off road endurance events from time to time.

you may have missed the sarcasm

@droceretik 7 жыл бұрын

Yeah, who wouldn't have missed your attempt at sarcasm? What was your point? I think your last response is an attempt to rationalise your foolish comment on Kevin's ability to be familiar with and use current motorcycle technology. He runs a racing school which includes the latest production motorcycles and is contracted to Suzuki. I'm sure he has ridden every production superbike from all the manufacturers his students bring to his classes. He acts as a technical consultant and tester for Suzuki's production superbikes. He would also be very familiar with the data loggers and technology used by racing teams including tyre development and suspension tuning.

@theavangelist 7 жыл бұрын

droceretik read and interpret the point. the bike is behind the market place, most bikes have had ABS, TC and the like for a good 5yrz. Suzuki are massively behind. my comment was in relation to the poorly scripted promo guff that one of the few standing spokespersons for suzuki is dumped with. people on KZfaq are so bloody hostile. get off your soap box

@droceretik 7 жыл бұрын

First you tried to put shit on Kevin Schwantz by implying he hasn't ridden for ten years, that Suzuki is behind in technological development and that Suzuki shouldn't run promotional videos. I pointed out that he has "slung a leg over" bikes in the last ten years and not only that, co-rode to third place in the Suzuka 8 hour plus he runs a race riding school. You were wrong in 3 out of 3 points. Then you back-peddle by claiming it was a sarcastic comment. Stop trying to pretend you are funny and clever.

@gomongoose 7 жыл бұрын

Such a difference between the older way of riding and the new riding style on the superbike. I thought he'll wipe his front end off with that kind of body positioning on the lean angles. But hey, he's a World champ afterall; anything that makes you go faster is good.
