It official this bike is insane. I've been the owner of jap 600's for the last 5 years and I can't beleive what I've been missing!!!

I'm still limited to 5000rpm but the bike can still put a grin on my face. After a sh*t day at work today I took her out for a quick ride down to Malabar ( south of sydney ) . Within 5 mins any work was forgotten and all I could think about was getting as many km's on her as possible so I can get hold of some more of that torque :-D :-D :-D

I'm not sure what I love most. The fact that the '05+ S3 is so gorgeous to look at or the fact that no matter how sensible you are this thing will turn you into a madman. Bring it on!

Makes ya forget all about them brakes doesn't it?

Who neeeds brakes??

 

[odium]

Has anybody been hurt b/c of the brakes? Not been able to stop? If so, I claim rider error and no use of the rear brake as the reason.

All I hear is a lot of bitching about this issue, but that's it.

My brakes work exactly as a progressive brake should, and it's just the same as the brakes on the bikes that others are whining about.

These brakes feel strange if you don't use your rear brake properly, but are otherwise incredible.

*confused*
