Holy Crap, I tried TC3 the other day just for grins. It intrudes immediately upon twisting the throttle and you can feel it cutting the power by a bunch even at low throttle position. It is only good for rain or dirt roads otherwise useless.

I thought they downplayed the handling a little. They conceded it was a big improvement from the Gen 1 but still not up to par w/the 'Busa. It's been several years since I had my 'Busa but I think the handling on the 14R is up to snuff. I'm most pleased w/it. Nicest bike I've ridden. And I've had a bunch.

I saw the comment about the Busa and the word handling. I laughed, I have ridden many and they are likea buffalo when going around a curve. That guy is a true Suzuki guy to his heart. I wish these guys could separate their personal feelings from the facts. I want the facts and we all know a Busa does not handle as good as a 14R.
