Well I got it last night after work.

First impressions are it's incredible.

It's beatiful to look at up close. The fit and finish is very good for a suzuki.

Not quite Yamaha, or Honda quality but they are getting there.

The stock exhaust sounds awesome! The best stocky i've ever heard, and it looks horn just like a motogp style exhaust.

The engine is still very tight i'm not supposed to go over 6000 revs to begin with. I went up to 7000 last night and wanted to keep going but i need to bed all the parts in before i start going balistic.

Damn it's a good bike.

So anyone that wants someone to go riding with just let me know.

But i'll still be coming to SAU south australian events.

Dad also got a new bike yesterday.

A new Yamaha FZ1.

It's an R1 engine from 2006 in a more upright semi naked bike.

The engine is tuned a little differently and has much more mid range than an R1.

It's pretty damn nice though, i went for a quick ride last night.

Thanks for the offer, but i love the flickabilitly of the 750 plus it has more than enough power for my skill level.

Makes me laugh when people equate cc of a bike to rider level skill. If your a noob on a 250, your a noob on a 1000cc.

Rider training is worth its weight in skin....gold...i meant gold :happy:

Not having a go at all...

I just dont agree with people who seem to think cc of a bike should = skill level. Look at the learners who are too physically big to ride 250cc for a first bike *Looks at Tangles* :kiss: (what was your first bike there?)

A 1000cc bike is no different to a smaller cc bike...except 2 things. Weight and revs...

Someone who isnt accustomed to riding (not yourself) would more likely get on a 600cc bike say, and ring the nuts off it thinking it wont be bad, because its only a mid size bike :happy:

Wish i had a dollar for all the noobs ive heard of getting on a mid size cc bike and doing 160 on the street in the flick of a wrist...yet they wouldnt jump on an R1 say and attempt the same, just cause its a 1000cc....

Well i have no problem jumping on any bike a ringing the neck off of it.

Like i said, the 600's lack torque down low, and i love the how well the 750 turns.

Like most magazines have said, it has almost the power of a litre bike and handles as well a 600. So that too me is a perfect bike.

Zx-14 is good for one thing... country miles.

The new ZX-6R just came in and looks great. I might have a test ride on it this weekend.

Bl4cK32 in regards to your earlier comment having a smaller bike i beleive does boost your confidents. On the 600's i've cracked the throatle coming out of corners and it's just powered out. Where as when i tried the same thing on a zx-10r on the same corner, it started to do a massive drift. And that affects ones confidence. It meant when riding i was more timid about opening the throttle right up.

This was about 3 years ago though.

Yer i agree with learning on smaller cc bikes, no arguments.

Its always good to progress to larger bikes. In fact SA should follow the other states with 250cc restrictions (2stroke racers - which i learnt on (and still own :D) then have another licence for say 600cc then above...

All should come with proper rider training, not the "sit on the bike with it turned off, and let someone push u across the range" that they do currently...

Well had my first hills ride and proper ride on the bike on Saturday.

And hell it was good fun.

I didn't feather my tires right to the edge, and my lines were all over the place. But it felt great to get back out there.

Now just need to get back into rythem.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
