Re: Gsx-s1000f
Just when I was coming around to the blue and black I've had a call from the dealership, there are no more blue/blacks available now, red/black it is

Re: Gsx-s1000f
I'm sure it'll still be great.
Even if it is slower. |

Re: Gsx-s1000f
There is same amount of black on the blue one as there is on the red one
If you get red people will think it is a Honda, blue is proper Suzuki colour.

Re: Gsx-s1000f
Getting the red, only red and Matt black left....white was my first choice (although I already have a white tiger) but never any to grab

Re: Gsx-s1000f
just read it properly... straight swap for the rocket..
something i dont like is the bar mounted mirrors when they could have put fairing mounted ones on no problem, makes the bike look like "lets just slap a fairing on the naked and put an F badge on". mind you suzuki are pretty famous for parts bin specials. |

Re: Gsx-s1000f
Yeah, was way too easy a trade, the rocket held it's value really well, now they no longer make them I am guessing the value is holding, cost me less than £500/year to own over 5 yrs....not gonna be the case here I don't think but got a good deal, in today's prices anyway
The triumph dealership was offering me more than £2K less on trade-in for a S/H Z1000SX....they're not going to see me again for anything unless I have to go there, robbing barstewards Quote:
I can live with the mirrors, but they could have done better with the front and center look, raised it up a bit maybe...would have been a great homage to the SV...pointy faired SV's still looks great IMHO Still, once sitting on the bike and riding it non of that matters, then you just love the thing, great machine, really is. So smooth and much more relaxed than a RRR super sports thing in everyday riding / if not pushed but get it to 8K onwards and it starts to really liven up. As a side note to all those riding faired SV's that might want a new bike, I think we'll see the GSX-S750F soon enough, should be a great replacement (albiet an IL4)
