This is hilarious and awesome and anyone who doesn't think so and posts in the supermoto thread should likely take a minute to examine their thoughts on race.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Normally, the idea of a motorcycle being smashed under the wheels of a car that didn't pay attention makes me furious at those four-wheeled morons and their cattle-like behaviour. But in Chino's case I am willing to make an exception and concede that some things are best squashed.

Positioning is important. Place it towards the back of the seat for ultra stable wheelies, or farther forward for stoppies.

I loving love pictures of old film makers. They used to do some crazy poo poo to get a good shot. Now we rely on smaller cameras and digital editing. Back then they used their giant balls to do it.

Reppin' the original cheap-rear end standard bike crew :q::hf::q:

I got it in september last year, but I can't remember if I posted about it. I am now obliged to ask if there are any essential tweaks that need to be done (apart from firming up the front suspension)?


Anything that absolutely NEEDS to be done? Nope, the bandit is pretty drat good as is.

My personal recommendations for helpful tweaks would be:

-leo5busa jet mods (see maximum-suzuki forums for this), clears up some flat spots

-08+ gsxr 1000 rear shock. Night and day difference between it and stock. Fits better than the busa shock. Can be had cheap on ebay all day.

-Sonic springs in front. Sonic springs arent progressively wound. Bandit does better with non-progressive springs, according to.the internet.

Like any older bike it can probably also stand to have some braided lines and new pads put on if you havent done that already

It is a cruiser, so you need that extra braking distance.
