Default Dear bank manager...

Right, we all know that the new GSX-R1000 has got some mixed responses because of its unusual exhaust. However while browsing the suzuki website I found this:



My god, I am in love with that bike.... right to do some maths and see how I can get one without breaking the bank and killing myself.

Buying one not a problem,

About £8.4k

Insuring one, could be an issue

restraining yourself from using all that power ????? impossible
