Gsr 600
Giving some serious thought to getting one of these in the new year. Anyone got any experience of them, particulalrly how they compare to a naked SV?

Re: Gsr 600
I had one of these as a loaner for 24 hours while my bike was having some work done on it. I thought it looked naff, particularly with the flames on the side of it. The bloke in the shop said it would make me grin like an idiot - yeah yeah I thought to myself.
5 minutes down the road and I was grinning like an idiot. Great fun! Fast, naked fun! The only bad things were the mirrors and the looks. Take one out for a spin, I bet it will make you laugh. Never ridden an SV (ahem, why am I here?!) so can't comment on that. |

Re: Gsr 600
I bought one a few months ago to replace a curvy svs (could not get comfy )
Good points Comfy as bikes go Its pretty quick (once you wind the revs up)  Suspension way better than the SV The not so good IL4 needs some revs to get interesting (above 11k is mucho fun ) Its faster than the SV but somehow manages to feel slower unless really pushing on  Thirsty compared to the SV In conclusion though I love it

yeah, flames are a load of balls but I actually think it looks ok. I fancy something to have fun on. I'm trying to arrange a test ride at the minute but nowhere local has one that I cans see.
