Am i Going mad

[spamanglenn]

Each to there own I guess
I got to the stage with my old Copper one (which I still ) but to chuck buckets loads of money at a old bike would just have be a waste of money so I decided to started fresh and go again

and still get your arse kicked spending bucketloads forking out for a gen2 and then modding that.:lol2 gen1,s are a better drag bike,gen2,s are a smoother roadbike.

How much have you spent on yours then Glen, your motor probaly cost more that my change over for a new Gen2 and thats not counting your new front end & brakes, swinging arm etc

Motor cost approx the same as changeover price including pipe.All the other bits were already on there and i wasnt prepared to go back to stock brakes suspension etc,etcRemember my bike had radial mount brakes and ohlins forks before the gen2 came out,a gen1 didn,t really need them i just wanted them.revalved forks and good pads and rotors is sufficient for most.If you had even a mild motor like dads in ruffys bike you,d still get a gen2 beater for less than changeover price,most are afraid to lay a spanner on their bikes and want suzuki accountability when they break it.My bike is definately not a return on investment bike,its built to perform far better than oem and that costs lots more than oem.If you want value for money i,d run any gen2 with a bike like ruffys one with a motor like dads one around a track or in a straight line and still have money in my pocket.buying a gen2 is an easy and instant performance upgrade,thats why most do it.I,m not most,the road less travelled has its rewards.
