Quote:The 10 year old 750 viffer weighs the same as a Busa!
We all know that suzuki lies about its dry weight.
I have seen the wet weight of busas in mag tests and the fuel/oil they use must be bloody heavy.
Ive ridden both bikes back to back and belive me the viffer is much lighter than the busa.Having said that,yes the viffer is a heavy bike for a 750,but then it was not built to be an out and out sports bike and i think the vee configeration doesnt help with the weight aspect as in having 2 heads ect,but when they raced the RVFs in the suzuka 8 hr back in the early 90s,they were tipping the scales at about 160 kilos and about 170 hp.....not bad for a 750 back then.The trick with the racing bikes was that they used plenty of exotic materials in the motor back then as they used the F1 rules and not the current superbike rules. Phuck its the phantom!<i></i>
