Wondering if one of the new 2004 owners can comment on the well documented bar buzz the 2002-2003 bikes suffered from when engine speed was operated aroubd 4000 rpm. Motovation barends improved the situation on my '02 but what about the '04s? New engine config (shoter stroke/larger bore) might alter the buzz point on the new bikes.

I've known that the GSX-R has a counterbalncer to reduce this and read today the Honda RR-1000 has one as well. Never having ridden either bike I am not sure what these devices do.

It's there, but about 50% or so less.

Is it severe enough for you to be considering heavier bar ends? When my son dropped my bike at low speed that longer bar end dented the frame.
