Wait, my Samurais had 1300 cc's of hamsters.... :? Did you Canucks get the short end of the suzuki 4X4 stick?

I can't imagine a weaker engine that that 67 BHP 1.3 liter 4-banger. I mean they are light vehicles, but common - the world is not flat after all, you're going to have to go up a hill eventually! :laughing:

The 1300 was a later-year upgrade. My 82 had 900cc. Think on how doggy THAT thing was. :laughing:

Okay, I get it now. We Americans didn't get the Samurai until I think 85, or 86. Suzuki must have already upgraded the engine by then. (If you can call it an upgrade, LOL)

Dual exhaust for my 03 SV650. I really prefer the look of a symmetrical rear-end.

Hey about that backfiring technique. I did it accidentally yesterday, forgot to switch the killswitch to "on" before trying to start. Tried twice, realized my mistake, then started the bike. Scared the hell out of me and drew a lot of unwanted attention, but the pipes are ok so its all good.

I would like a panel where i could plug
1 my phone to recharge whilst riding
2 a GPS system, Garmin and the like.
3 power to run a light
4 pump up an air bed
5 battery charger AA, AAA etc
In other words a panel to plug just about anything into.

I have put quite a few accessories on my R6, but I would have to say my fav. is the Scorpion exhaust.

I ride a cruiser, and I've got a aftermarket windshield and exhaust system, but I think I'd really rather have a set of saddlebags (I'm constantly carrying things in my coat).

Then again, the prev. owner said the stock pipes where really quite, and he had lots of cager problems because of it. So...

Edit: Removed the windshield and rode around for an hour at highway speeds. Great way to burn calories (works your gut!) but I'm now officially using 'windshield' as my #1 accessory. :D
