    Cool The GOOSE

    I've ridden this bike a couple of times now and it is a bloody fun bike to ride around the city on. Coleman's lend it to me as a courtesy bike when I take my bike in for servicing. When they told me today that my bike will not be ready until tomorrow, all I thought was that I get to ride The Goose for another day

    I love riding café racer singles. It's only a 350 single, but it has enough power to hoon around the traffic. Well if ya a short bastard like me anyway. It also goes well with the girlie on the back, but she weighs next to nothing as well.

    If it wasn't for the stupid 250cc laws, it would make an excellent learners bike.

    They don't usually provide courtesy bikes here either, I guess you have to know the people really well if they are to give you a courtesy bike.

    Never ridden one, but its a shame Suzuki never fitted an electric start DR650 motor in one, instead of the 350cc motor as standard

    They are lovely and I actively considered a yellow one to get back into bikes with, but it was a lot of money for no straight line performance. Goes round corners like an Aurora AFX slot car though.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    DR350 motor,only got them as imports here but the bike press loved them.Depends what you want really,Supermotos aren`t fast in a straight line either but they`re a blast and really popular over here,there`s more to biking than speed and not everyone can afford to run a sports bike.

    Never seen one.

    If the tail-piece was put on a diet it would look very nice.

    However it only looks very nice.
