a bike with a different class of styling... has yet seen one on the road... Suzuki seems to be active in 400cc cat with GSR and Gladius side by side.

I'm going to put one up as my wallpaper at home and at work so I can salivate on it while saving up to buy one. It's the only 2A bike I'm aiming for besides the classic Bandit which is sadly too "classic" for my future tastes.

 

There IS a 2A Gladius right? 400cc SV400F - I need an education on bigger bikes

 

OMG look at the Japanese spec sheet. Fuel economy at Ah Pek speeds is 40km/l!

Sadly... none of the player industry will bring in these 2As bikes. For economic/profit reasons they don't think 400cc will have bikers holding longer onto it.

These will include brand names like Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki. Salivate or drool only lor...

Singapore riders will have to content wif these 'Hondas S4 taxis' besides those PI bikes already available.

Damn! *sticks to 2B*

 

On a lighter note I got up close and personal with a Bandit today. The noise from the gearbox is epic fun

Typical growling Suzuki's engine. Suuuuuzuuuuukiiiiiiiii!

Swift Honda's. Hooooonnndaaaahhhhh!

Yamaha's. Yaaaaaaammaaaaaaha!

Kawasaki's. Kawakawakawakawakawasakih!

Lol that is giving me comic book ideas!

 

One of my favourite bike sounds is still the gearbox of a well tuned CB250 (Nighthawk). It basically whirrs away like a turbine engine. Happy to have got my Phantom to sound like Dad's Nighthawk at least while fast idling, and low speed crawling on the first 3 gears.

 

Big bikes - I notice a Fazer and a S4 yesterday sounded quite similar at idle - some kind of urgent quartet of wolves going woof-woof-woof yanking away at their restraining chains...

 

SP sounds like it hates low speed riding. So rough at low RPMs. Yamaha 2 strokes are a bit more polite, at least trying to give some torque to crawl up the RPMs with before giving the happy PEHHHHHHHHHH!!!! at 6000 and above.
