Kusanagi Nerf?

[Chief301]

I've recently reinstalled with the release of patch 1.6, and have noticed that the Yaiba Kusanagi CT-3X bike is suddenly much slower than it was before - Where it previously easily reached speeds around 180 mph, it now seems to cap out around 150 before acceleration slows significantly, even when driving straight on empty roads. It no longer easily reaches the same high speeds and acceleration drops off quickly, I have yet to even make it to 160 before having to turn. Was the bike nerfed and nothing was said about it, or is this a bug?

I don't remember any nerf on 1.52 (yeah about 179-180mph at max). Maybe it changed in 1.6, but I can't try yet

Yes, it used to go faster than the Arch Nasare. Seemed like a bike build for speed, so its a bummer. I believe it was the result of the developers trying to improve handling of vehicles. Sadly the Kusanagi got the short end in that one.

It happened with 1.5 update. It is indeed slower, and Arch Nasare is faster.
