I worked at a Suzuki dealer when they came out. An Air Force major came in and bought one, trading in a Buell.

I told him "Dude, this is gonna be like going from a Sopwith Camel to an F-16, have fun!"

He came back a couple weeks later with a big smile and said "YOU WERE NOT KIDDING!"

During my NRS race school at WSMC a long time ago (ugh), there was a guy on a Busa with (yes), an extended swingarm. Dude rode really well and was quick on it. Right up until the 3rd on track session where he dragged all the hard parts through T2 until he eventually levered the rear tire off the tarmac and threw the thing on the ground. Shame...

There is a new Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 coming out. Seems like its 322lb though, so not sure why anyone would buy it. Curious to learn more about the motor but my gut tells me it will be painfully slow at 100lb more than a Grom (which isn't fast to begin with).

I just figured out what new bike I want.

They don’t make it. :(

I saw that article and now I dreaming of a Multileggera.

Take that and back it down to 195hp and throw it in a very street oriented Multi platform... with a G-Damn 17” front and I bet there would be some OG’s like me waiting in line to order.

Not at 100k of course but I would drop something short of 50 if it was bad ass.
I am getting close to last bike time and stuffing in something like that would be worth working another year.

Nope. Knees. All about the knees.

My metal replacement only bends so far and at 6-1” it is not far enough.

The sportbike frames just don’t work.

OG Multileggera
From the the article; “You sold two bikes for me today. Two guys that you blew by came over and committed to putting down deposits.’ That was pretty cool.”
I love this country!:thumbup

I asked a sales guy if you can remove the wings on whatever Ducati model we were standing in front of. Dude says why would you want to do that it creates so many blah blah pounds of downforce at 180mph. I tell him I’d won’t ever need to go that fast. Dudes asks then why buy the bike. Saw no point talking to that guy any further.

Yep they look dumb

You and me both, good sir.


The new V4 Multistrada would be an awesome choice if i were in the market for an R1250GS but wanted more "sporty" performance. Here's 1000ps's video review of it compared w/ the new 1250GS and it really highlights how closely aligned these motos now are, and how much further away it puts the new V4S away from what people loved about the 1200/1260 Multi:

It looks neat but nowhere near sport-touring focused as I would like. also, 270kg, same weight as the 1250GS! With lower fuel mileage :D :D :D


Give us a Corsa / Pikes Peak version with 17" please, but at this point I doubt it.

Honestly, not being an expert Busa observer, outside of the exhausts, this looks like all of the other Busa's.

I'm sure side by side there's glaring differences.
