    It sounded good leaving the lights on the motorway. It looked great up close at the top of the hill.

    Nah just followed it a while then talked to the owner up the top. Think it had 100km on the clock. Looks like a fun ride though.

    Yeah that was me, much more bike than I'm used to and it's still the "getting to know you" phase.

    Mossy's f4 in comparison is a work of art, the level of attention to detail is awesome.

    Bang for buck the Suzi looks pretty sharp but I don't want to swap.

    Looked at one in the weekend.

    Unfortunately it was blue. Looked like ......

    The other two colours look better in the photos.

    Price is good. Wonder if they will be cheaper in Summerfest .....



    Also, interesting point - if I posted up on KB I was paying that amount for a 10 year old engine you hos would slag me off something awful. BUT the exercise is valid by Suzuki - price it well, design well and it should sell.

    Anyway - I have a sniff and itch for a Ducati......... which means value for money is a mute point in my search.

    So I test rode one of these today. Very nice. Comfortable riding position, suspension seemed fine, oodles of power all through the rev range with a nice kick at about 7000rpm. The throttle is a bit snatchy, as reported in most reviews, but I found it easy enough to get used to.
    Liked it so much I bought one, pick it up after the national launch on Saturday. Fuck yeah....cant wait

    Good stuff. Naked or faired?

    I saw them today, the FA looked a lot less heinous in the flesh than it does in photos.
