I guess maybe this is more new to bikes than cars.

Cheers bud, Its a temporary thing, once my hand is better I'm getting another GSXR1000K5 or K6 had a K5 a few years ago, (wish I'd never sold the K5 tbh) before the 929, which was a temporary change in its self, the reports how awesome the 2005- 2006 GSXR is, don't lie.. its completely mentalDoggo wrote:What got me was the timing adjustment possible, as opposed to the Honda system of (As I understand it) just the two fixed cam profiles.
Shame you had to sell the 929, btw. I've not ridden one but 3rd Gen Steve tells me they're good.
Lucky chap, moving to an RC8!

The 929 was an awesome bike, one of my favourites. Ive always wanted to try a k5, they are supposed to be one of the all time greats!hondaman wrote:Cheers bud, Its a temporary thing, once my hand is better I'm getting another GSXR1000K5 or K6 had a K5 a few years ago, (wish I'd never sold the K5 tbh) before the 929, which was a temporary change in its self, the reports how awesome the 2005- 2006 GSXR is, don't lie.. its completely mentalDoggo wrote:What got me was the timing adjustment possible, as opposed to the Honda system of (As I understand it) just the two fixed cam profiles.

He absolutely loves the RC8 has wanted one for ages, I spotted it on the interwebs at a car dealers going for a song, went to have a look and the rest is history... the suspension was way to firm, when he got it, but I've sorted that for him, and now he just loves it, I might even get a chance to ride once my hand is better,3rd gen steve wrote:The 929 was an awesome bike, one of my favourites.

How does your friend find the rc8? I was in my way to trade my hayabusa for one when it started misfiring, nearest port of call was my local honda dealer where i get most of my bikes from. When i went in they were just putting a a price tag on an ex honda uk 2010 fireblade. Never made it to the KTM garage.

... Are they trying to imply the ECU thinks for itself to decide on cam position as aposed to a map?The system can continuously vary the position between the camshafts and the crankshaft in the range between minimum and maximum overlap. Furthermore the system has the ability to independently vary the intake and exhaust cams, resulting in an infinite number of possible configurations. The ECU mapping has been developed to select the position that optimizes power delivery, torque, smoothness, and fuel efficiency for the rider’s every throttle command.
