Clearly, you need a good talking to. I was very underwhelmed by the one I rode. It vibrated like a bastard.

I liked it. The vibration seemed to be focused right where the seat meets the tank. I've been married a long time.

Its 240kgs 50kgs more than the GSXR750:facepalm:
About the same as my VSTROM 1000

So what. Fat chicks are more grateful. V-Stroms look like an accident in a heat pump factory.

:laugh: Looks only the owner can love...... But good on long trips. I had a VTR1000 loved it for the first 2 hours on a ride.

I know the feeling. Loved my R6 on the outbound leg. On the way home sometimes I could have happily thrown it in a ditch and walked home. Without even hitting sheep to end up in the ditch.

I'm quite looking forward to having a gawk at the GSR-750 in the flesh.
I reckon it will be a reasonable bike after the "specified by accountants" suspension is seen to.
I'll bet Suzuki pinched pennies there

The global Suzuki site states 211kg for base model and 215kg for the ABS, think it's a typo from someone at Suzuki NZ. Still heavier than the GSXR though.

Mate Mark had one out for a goodly burst yesterday. He has already made a positive procurement decision, he says.

Mid-size nekkids with good ergonomics have much to commend them. I'm very scared to take one out for a test ride.

The least you could do is take one for a squirt and report back, Brett! :yes:

I know someone who would be keen to hear about them. I'm still quite smitten by the 2011 model that has an "X" in it's model designation.

Still sounds a little on the meaty side at 211kg for a 750, saw one yesterday in the shop though, looks good in white and the price is good :yes:

Z750 has gone from 108hp and 194kg in 2004 to 95hp and 215kg. Thank Euro 4.

The GSR isn't meant to be a Brutale competitor it's a mass produced, reasonably priced, do anything naked motorcycle with comfortable ergos and predictable chassis and engine dynamics. A modern day 1978 GS750 in other words.

It's not a GSX-R750 and shouldn't be compared with a supersports. Few people ride any bike to anything approaching its limits. If you want something that's shitloads of fun and suitable for a range of uses from commuting to a bit of weekend backroad scratching, then the GSR should ideally suit your needs. If it's a penis-extending-looking-pretentious-in-custom-made-leathers look you want, buy a crotch rocket, preferably an overpriced one.

Had a closeup yesterday-nice, but so evident where cost cuts have been made. That suspension looks budget as! I will reserve judgement for a test ride, but not thinking of trading the penis enhancer just yet!!!
