So, does one buy a new Super 10 or a used GS?

A very good review of a very "hot" bike.
2 thoughts: You can probably disable the ABS by pulling it's fuse. Why the parallel twin, when a 90 degree vee is so much better? 2 balance shafts and special timing to make it sound and feel like a vee? The vee may be longer, but it's thinner, which I'd think matters most if you're standing on the pegs. I want one. |

That's a Big Damn Bike, Danger!
Good writeup, very informative. Will somebody please buy me one of these for my 40th? Perhaps all the MO-Fos here can pool their pennies in a praypal donation to help defray the cost of my new Soupa'-T......

I'd go with a used GS. No radiator and used will be all kitted out already. For some reason this thing isnt doing it for me. I keep seeing that side mounted radiator with a root sticking out of it. Add in the fork dive, linked brakes, always on ABS and the always biggie with Yamaha, CASH UP FRONT.

Remember when they use to modify 650 twin Yamahas for dirt track by making them a 270 degree motor? One fires right after the other, like a big single. Betcha didn't know that, did ya?
And Cobb, I tried to send you an IM about the E ATK's but your profile is non-existant in the electronic mess that is MO. What happened?

I don't know about the PM issue though. Didn't it work last time? Maybe they threw an electronic MOnkey wrench in somewhere?  |
