Your not telling anything new to anyone about suzuki motors and gearboxes.
Nearly all bikers realize that Suzukis have great engines. I Never had any electrical issues either btw
Suspension is the one area they dont match some of the european stuff.
That can be sorted with a few extra $ though.
I still don't know how Suzuki offer their bikes new at such good prices.
hey they cant make it up on servicing and spare parts, looked after, they rarely go wrong.

Sorry

still

here!

Of course.. they are a dime a dozen!

That suzukis are so common is only a testament to their value for money. If Ducati's were good value/worth what they cost, you would see them everywhere -> but you don't.

Not so sure.....The big story I heard last week in CH Ch is about the poor bastard who bought a 'mint' '06 'Busa with only 20ks on the clock and it's done the big end and primary drive gears and the list goes on. This was about three weeks ago. The Bikes been dismantled by the shop and repaired but the parts bill alone is north of 5 K . Evidently the original owner did the most of his 9000 kms in top gear at low speed and left it there for overtaking and the 50kmh stuff, loading the motor big time . Unusual to hear of a 'Busa motor shitting itself though and surely it should have coped with that = True Story

This illustrates why it is important to check out who owned it. One careful lady driver doesn't cut it for cars and certainly not for high performance engines.

Actually as someone thats owned a few in my time "spending money" was obligatory,that or i guess i could have just pushed them about.I am all for ride what ya like blah blah blah but as someone who over the years has owned a shitload of bikes of many different brands feel ive answered most questions i have ever asked myself about bikes bar 1 which is why if a bike is purely for road use would anyone spend Ducatis asking price for there top end bikes when theres the same if not better performance available for far less dosh.?Name on the tank?jesus be a whole lot cheaper to buy a decal and stick it on whatever,sound?surely not if it was about sound we would all be riding Bevel drives.Will admit though that even Ducati seem to be waking up to the fact that most people that purchase motorcycles ride them in the real world ie 848,Suzuki worked it out many years ago with the GSXR750,racing aside i guess they to figured there was plenty of vain buggers in the world so saw a huge market for the inline 1000s.

I am not impressed with the frame and electrics on GSXR750s at all but then again these were the best anyone had to offer in the day, bloody light as and used for SBK. Good to hear the general experience with motors though!

[slofox]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - I knew you would want it - its such a FABULOUS machine - so when you gonna get it? huh? huh?

Just as soon as I sort the money...

Here's a piccy...

Ain't she a beauty

[scumdog]

I am a bit drunk, but i will say this

I am impressed by the engines suzuki makes.

I have had a fair few suzuki's, and they have all been pretty reliable, my GSXR 1000 had 60km on it and i raped it alot and it always went well.
finish and electrics have always been a bit of a weak point, but overall my GSXR's, DRZ's, DR's, UZ's, GN's, GS's, and of course the TF 125 RR have been a great source of fun and just so thrashable and tough...
aint snapped a frame yet BTW!

Wouldn't have one for a wart on me arse....
