Back on 2 wheels again!

I've just bought myself a bike.
She's a late 2009 Suzuki VZR1800R2 on 2000 miles.

1783cc V2
127bhp/118lbft
319kg
240 section rear tyre
USD forks
4-Piston radial brakes

Pics are from the dealer and as such are poo. Will take better ones once I've got it in my gruby mits.

Not everyone's cup of tea I'm sure but I'm very, very happy.

First mods will be:
Open filters and a Vance and Hines pipe
Cobra FI2000 fuel programmer
Ditch the sissy bar

Not my cup of tea but that aside I think it looks absolutely awesome. Nice one. Enjoy.

Bit different compared to a Busa though?.

As long as you have the tassles on the jacket (matching chaps?

) you'll be fine mate!. Congrats on the ride...and i agree about the sissy bar, we may need video evidence when you get the pipes though...

Glad you're riding again, but I've got to say that thing is hideous!
But if it floats your boat, enjoy!

Not an everyday bike but it looks awesome, wish I could afford a bike like yours.

Thats more that 14 times the size of my little 125

FFS, I can't stop spending money now.

Clear tail light assembly
Clear indicator lenses
Load equalised flasher relay
LED bulbs for indicators
ATRE
Side-mounted number plate
Tail tidy
Waterproof mount and case for iPhone 3GS (repurposing my old one as a bike nav)

Must be like riding a magic carpet!

Nice purchase.
