I can't wait to take one for a squirt...
like the map switch, and the twin pipes Regards Richard You're the guy that'll be sneaking out of your bedroom at three o'clock in the morning to look at your bike. Paul Teutul,Sr. American Chopper

Very nice Love the return of twin pipes. Makes it look like a grown-ups' bike instead of a toy.
I might just have to take one for a spin....... watch this space. Cheers, Holge

Mode switch ? Do we know what it does ? (I'm assuming it changes timing or something) The older I get, the better I was. Regards.... Rob

as far as I know it's for map selection, like the Yoshi pigyback unit that you can get for the Busa, I think you can have a choice of 3 different maps and change on the fly...

On the money Richard Here is the Suzuki blurb on it
Controlling the new 2007 GSX-R1000 is a new engine management system with massive computing power with four times the capacity of the previous models. The new ECM controls not only the fuel injection and exhaust systems but also make it possible for the rider to select from three performance settings to match riding conditions, using a three way switch mounted on the right handlebar. Engine mapping will vary for each setting and each map was developed using experience gained building racebike maps for rainy, mixed and dry conditions. Switching from map to map will be instantaneous making it possible for the rider to use different maps for different sections of the racetrack. FF1

Man that's the shit...
How long before they have a full closed loop set up Regards Richard You're the guy that'll be sneaking out of your bedroom at three o'clock in the morning to look at your bike. Paul Teutul,Sr. American Chopper

Well Guys and Gals,
This is what it has come to. Spewsuki wont let a GSX1300R on a GSXR track day because it hasn't got a MODE SWITCH ! I obviously need an upgrade to work out if it is daytime, nightime, tracktime, raintime or just Plain Ol' Time-O-The-Month Time. Hence the Modess Selection Switch. Can anyone get one for me in Pink ?

Mode control ..........just another security blanket for dud riders

This sort of technology can help with setting up a bike for all kinds of conditions. This is just a tool for getting the power down and under control, just like radial brakes help you to pull up in a shorter distance, and they are now the bench mark. They don't use the same set up for a GP bike at all the different tracks or a Top Fuel bike dumping all of its H.P on the start line and just try to hang on to it...
It's just a new way of setting up your bike for the conditions you are ridding or racing in. It's the 21st century this sort of stuff will be the norm in a few years just my 2 cents worth, but I like it... it's late and I'm rambling...
