Having said that, I still don't like the footpeg height on the 2011 SV (needs to be back n up 2-3cm), nor the length of the gearshift lever, as I clip my boot on it too often...that needs to be 1cm shorter.
I made the move to Japanese after years of Italian, but stupid stuff like this stands out WAY too easily n makes me wonder why...
Having said that, reliability and esp 2-up is awesome!  |
The new Gixxers are excellent! I completely agree! My friend bought a 2010 with an ECU 33BHP restriction.
I was a lovely bike until we went out for a ride with both our restricted bikes haha. In my opinion, he drastically overspent not just for a first big bike, but also for a bike to be restricted!
