Re: What's the Best..
So the conclusions we can draw from the poll is:
Suzuki did make a good bike, then they ruined it with the pointy, so much so that people got rid of them for triumphs? |

Re: What's the Best..
Nah Dave, the pointy owners are out riding them, whilst the curvy owners are at home fixing them hence have access to the computer and this poll

Re: What's the Best..
I'd actually be genuinely interested in why people voted the way that they did.
I have not riden a curvy - I just prefer the look of the pointy - the curvy looks so dated to me. I'd be interested to know if there were any mechaincal or usability reasons why one is better than the other. |

For me it just meant seized choke plungers and jets to be cleared out. I'm suspicious that the dreaded reg/rec failure is less common on pointy's too but thank's to the law of sod's am sure I'll be disproved.

Re: What's the Best..
I voted for Curvy, and I'm glad to see it's winning, but part of me thinks it's because most of us are too poor to afford newer bikes.

Re: What's the Best..
I did have a pointy, and now have a curvy. It has a better gearbox, smoother engine, feels faster (although I assume gearing) and is a pleasure to ride.
Also £1,000 a year cheaper to insure. |
