    I came across a deal I simply couldn't refuse, this speed r 17' was sold by a professional that mainly sold Kawasaki / Suzuki and couldn't afford to have it for too long in his stock. I basically paid it 2.5K less than its regular price.

    My lady also pushed me to get this bike as she already owns a R94, would be a good match.

    When comparing it with my previous RS, I don't really see any drastic changes, the only thing I could mention is the down shifter and the TFT screen. The engine is pretty much the same, at least when you compare it to other bikes such as the V4 factory or the SDR.

    All those bikes were pretty good to be honest, what made me sold the tuono was the little time I could dedicate to riding as opposed to the money spent. Was also planning on buying a 370z and couldn't keep both. At the end of the day, I didn't buy the 370z but invested the rest, I guess I'm getting wiser [​IMG]

    I'm looking forward to the new speed but I doubt I'll buy one new, even if the price is well positioned given the characteristics of the bike and the competition.

    Fair enough. Personally I would have thought the RS would have felt stronger than the 2017 R, with the added HP and faster revs, but I never rode the R. Sounds like a great deal though. As far as the 370Z, I owned a 2010 370z with the sport package. Awesome car. We bought it new and had it for 5 years. Had the most fun with that car than any vehicle I’ve owned. We did a few mods to it but nothing too crazy. Anyway enjoy your new speedy.

    The rs engine is for sure better but since I had the chance to compare it to quite a few power roadster, it’s pretty comparable to the r version while the v4 and sdr are a whole new league.

    yeah the 370z seems like a very fun car, not too expensive to maintain, a nice first step in the sport car group. What did you do to it ? Got pics ?
