GSX - Biggest Selling Bike????

[Blackbird]

Blackbird. Purchase criteria: Had to be capable of decent 2-up journeys but able to be ridden like a sports bike when solo. Had to have 300km+ range as I hate stopping for gas. Had to have heaps of mumbo. Proven reliability - motor good for well over 200000 km without significant work. Finally, I liked its looks.

Downside: A little too much weight on the wrists on a long haul, but not a really serious problem at present, just an annoyance. Replacement bike will probably be a new Yamaha FZ1 if the wrist issue does become a problem. However, this isn't on the immediate horizon as I spend a lot of time choosing a bike, then keep them for a long time.

FJR1300T. Replacing an ST1300, for medical reasons.

OK, after 67 voters, most new bikes was GSX (18), behind other, but given other is everything else.....?

Considering only 5 out of everyone admitted that they bought a new bike to replace the one of the same make they binned, leads me to think......

In that case you probably wont get too much info from the Gixxer riders on here. They only seem to clock up a few kms, then they are back to the shop to get a new one after they have sent it down the road without them.

Boomer hit the nail on the head.
The GSXR sells more, cause everyone who buys one rights the first 1 or 2 off.

Is indeed crap!

No, it's definitely true.

Got the Aprilia after the RF got taken out by a u turning cager.
Wanted a V Twin, tried the VTR & SV and nearly got an SV but then took out the Aprilia & it does it all so much better than the VTR & SV .

[Unit:Me]

Had the TL, but age, milage on that verses great price on a brand new SV made the decision. Abosolutely adore the SV and its gorgeous in black, with Yoshi's on, its got the right sound too. Very happy

Got a 98 GSX600 back in 2001 as it was my first bike after a long lay off (Due: Accident). Held onto it for a couple of years and then UPGRADED to a 92 CBR 600.
20 more ponies, and 20 kg less makes a huge difference. Not to mention it is a trusty Honda.
