My New Ride
« on: September 26, 2021, 08:52:59 PM »
Decide to go Japanese and chain drive for a while. Haven't had one since my Yamaha in the early 80's. 2009 Suzuki Bandit 1250, Cherry red 24,000 K's.

Unless you whack the throttle open at 6 grand... but seriously a great bike with a legendary motor.

They'll run.  I can tell you one abrupt throttle turn and you're looking at the sky.   :evil:

If you even want more "go" power, contact Dale Walker's Holeshot.  He sells big performance gains with some bolt-ons particularly for the liquid cooled versions.

Thanks. Too good a deal to let go by. No more power needed I'm happy with the way it is. The only down side is the red metallic muffler that looks like a couple of Coke cans hanging of the side.

I had a muffler on a Yamaha Road Star Warrior that more resembled a medium-sized water heater.  My wife kept saying "OMG that thing is huge !".  I left it on there.  Mostly because I liked hearing her say that.
