My brother wanted another toy to add to his collection of bikes and decides on a Hayabusa. Got a fistful of cash after his divorce and wants the bike yesterday of course. Plenty of Suzuki shops on the north side of Briz so shouldn't be difficult you reckon.
Shop 1: Haven't got one and probably wont get one in.
Shop 2: Got one in a crate out the back so come back next week.
Shop 3: Its $22,000 ride away (4K more than advertised) How much for cash sez Steve. Give me a deposit right now and sign the paperwork and I'll work something out for ya. Steve being his usual articulate self tells the fuck head he's a total wanker and walks out.
Shop 4: Walks into a large Suzuki dealership on the southside and gets treated like royalty. Nothing was too much trouble. Great price ride away and a shitload of cut price accesories fitted for nothing.
Now thats how we should be treated.

They're all the same. I had the same problem when I bought my Speedy....a fist full of dollars and nobody willing to get off their ass. Worst was my local dealer who I went to 4 times over a couple of months and got the same bs (got one coming, be here next couple of weeks etc etc). The last time I went in he wouldn't even come out of his office because he was "doing an insurance quote" so I spent my money elsewhere.

I got my Busa from City Motorcycles at windsor, they were great and did a great deal.... South side of brissy sounds like Springwood suzuki. They were really good when I got an SV a couple of years ago. Godd bunchof guys.

A mate of mine just had $1,000 service done on his ttr600 at Mansfield motorcycles and they didn't even change oil, the filter, or clean the air filter.

You'd be surprised just how capable they are in the right hands. They just don't stop very well

Sounds like typical Team Homo Arrogance. Good to see nothing has changed and they're still a bunch of cocksucking fuckwits.

Sorry 4 my arrogance jz but I have honestly never ridden with 1 in anything other than our own Nymboida loop with pearso who did nothing to impress me but I'm open to offers other than doing 300 fucken kmh on the way to walcha or anysuch where (honestly I would love to ride with all the bikes I put shit on like hahahardleys but they have there prefered routes like around the corners which I love and anyone who says I'm slow in the corners then I'll pull my finger out and try harder) but that's what I love and I have come to the realization that busa boys love the straights but y else would u buy 1

Steve's doing the Irish North West 200, IOM TT and European autobahns next year on the Busa. He's already got a Motard for the twisties, VMax for the fast straights, Norton cafe racer and a couple of old Z9s he's had since the 70's (just to remind himself that he's an old bastard).
Team Homo and Pro salesmen are total wankers and the idiot at Windsor should be in line for fuckwit salesman of the year award. It shouldn't be that hard to buy a bike, especially when you're talking cash.
Springwood Suzuki make good coffee too ;). Pickin it up Saturday morning.

Well naturally a busa is good at fast straights, Im just saying that ive embarrassed quite a few sports bikes over the years. It takes a while to work out how to corner fast on a busa but as soon as you do, it can be quite fast. Did a couple of trackdays at phillip island and was not the slowest by far (and im no rossi)

The ZX14 is another surprising bike in the twisties, carries its weight down fairly low, I certainly surprised quite a few Super-sports riders on that thing, and I am not fast.

Same with any bike though, you will always find someone on a "better" bike who is a slower rider, and vice versa.
