dgshannon Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Anyone else make the move from an '03 to an '04 recently? I have noticed an unbelievable difference in the power delivery on the '04. I presume it is the result of the new ignition module and timing changes. My '04 is much smoother, pulls lower, and revs like a banshee when you grab a hand full of throttle. Just interested to see if anyone else is experiencing the same?

don t. Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I can only compare the demo ride I had on the 03 Long Ride & Competition models to my 04 Competiton; even then the time that has elapsed between that ride and my bike's delivery makes it hard to compare. The suspension sure seems much livelier and the balance superb; the power delivery certainly is more even than my `97 Techno. I'm able to do stuff on the Scorpa that wasn't possible (for me, anyway) on it because of the differences between them. As a developing rider (second step up the class ladder), I needed something that doesn't care where I am on the bike for traction and has smooth & predictable power delivery (a very progressive clutch doesn't hurt, either). I knew I wanted one when I rode the 03 models, just couldn't buy one then. I sure am glad I was able to buy one this time around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave blowers Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I jumped from an 01 to a 04 and boy was there a difference. It took me quite a while to get used to it. It was a lot more responsive than my old bike and revs higher, glad i changed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
