    A Hire bus?!! Nice. My mate had one when they were new, in Bronze, I remember when i rode it, i could look down through the screen and see the clocks. Best mod for your bux, is fitting a 1 tooth smaller front, or 3 teeth bigger rear sprocket.

    How did it get to that speed on 160bhp? I did a straightliners top speed day at Woodbridge, and not one standard Hayabusa got close to 190mph. My ZZR1400 with mods was making 178bhp, and my fastest speed on the day was 193.9mph. In fact, one Hayabusa rider took his seat off and still didn't manage 190mph.

    • @AshRowland
      @AshRowland  4 місяці тому +2

      173 bhp, and I guess it was all down to aero dynamics... I'm 6'2" and I'm no where near able to tuck behind the screen, I guess you have to be about 5" to be able to get behind the screen and achieve the top speed

    Hi Ash hope you’re enjoying the bus,don’t know how much you know about busa’s but they eat rear tyres,keep a close eye on the chain and sprockets,the clutches can sometimes suffer with snatching whereby when you pull away the bike will bog down and then all of a sudden launch when the clutch release’s (there are several aftermarket mods for this and also the tokico front brake callipers suffer with brake fade if pushed. Hope this helps,loved both of my 2004 busa’s,great bikes . Enjoying the channel 👍🛵🛵

    • @AshRowland
      @AshRowland  4 місяці тому +2

      Thanks mate, I have noticed that even though the callipers were rebuilt this year, and the discs and pads were changed, It doesn't feel like the brakes are good enough for the bike. I'll watch out for the snapping clutch, would want to be looking at the sky after pulling away 🤣

  • @Pete128
    @Pete128 4 місяці тому +1

    Excellent choice! I had a 2005 model for 4 years, 165,000km and it still ran - just not as good as new. I progressed to a 2016 Gen 2 and it's such a better bike, everything that frustrated me on the Gen 1 was fixed with Gen 2 and more. Enjoy!!! but watch those breaks, notoriously "not great"!

    • @AshRowland

    Hi Ash, I swapped my 99 reg one years ago for another bike because I couldn't ride it normally and once I'd done the absolute max on it I thought either licence is gonna burn or I will! Anyway I've got a Haynes for it and other thing's (factory handbook) ect if any use to you? They did have an external tank high pressure fuel pump that are legendary for going wrong and I've got plenty of them as well possibly as getting like rocking horse.

      It was a gentlemans' agreement which was self imposed by the Japanese manufacturers before an authoritarian EU legislated on their own imposed speed restrictions.
      The agreement was honoured by the Japs., development went away from the power race until certain EU manfacturers caught up & immediately dishonoured it, yet they then had to sell bikes which needed expensive electronic, aids in order to use their engines' potential... Personally, I prefer to let riders show how good (or poor) their skills are with their bike, not levelling the field because of anti- "this & that" taking the human control away....

      @@AshRowland That isn't high mileage, that is low mileage! I bought my BMW K1200S with 130K Kilometers (that is roughly 82.5 K Miles) and paid 2500 euro too. That was the absolute cheapest K1200S in The Netherlands too. Very good deal, at first sight. Congrats!

    I have the Gen 1,2 and 3. Gen 2 is the best by far, Gen 3 next you have what I would say is the worse model the Gen1 however still a great ride. Gen 2 2.5k there are choices, Gen 1 you can get for £1.5k choices, Gen 3 you can get for 6k

    Looks like a lovely bike, due to the Sunday power ranger's who buy a new bike every year ( admittedly not this one) that could keep prices for bikes low especially second hand bikes, and most get well looked after, so cheap to buy but unfortunately not cheap to run, as I'm finding out with my new to me second hand bike, but i wish you well...ps video was great you and the mrs come across very lovely, bike looked great and put a ring on your lovely lady you look great together ❤️.
