Just seen the advert for it on in the break for WSBK. Has a bunch of lasses riding it around town. Definitely a girls bike!

I was surprised it was *SO* female directed-thought they'd play that down. Odd tactic, given 10% of bikers are women...

odd suzuki kinda alienates the bike to us chap's like that it does look a girly kinda bike though so where is the chap's version sv650r or something cool like that.

Indeed... tacky and plasticky.. Like why have they hidden the frame where it connects to the engine? I can guess, looking at the welds on the head stock they wanted to hide the HORRID job they have done with them down near the engine. Its a real shame because it seems to have got cheaper, looks like it needs a giant "made in china" sticker on it!

Im pretty sure the suspension isnt upto much as even with my meagre 65kg's (with kip

) on the suspension felt like it was made for someone who weighs nothing. Im pretty sure Liam wasnt that impressed with it, though ill let him enlighten us futher on that as it was kinda a passing comment.

I didnt like the bike before I got to admit... but now it really does seem like a tacky monster!

Oh well, im sure it will still sell far more than it should

Ah yes, and theDunlop Qualifiers on a learner bike!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Dizzy, How DARE you photoshop out my beard!!!???

Couldn't agree with you more. Not sure if that's good or not? Does look attractive though!

oooo yeah sorry

and theres me thinking that you almost liked the gladys

.
When you first glance at it, its not that hideous, its when you start looking at it longer you start picking holes in it. Like I did in Liams thread

I went to see a mate in Hornsea, then on to Seaways bikers cafe, nice ride, bit chilly on the way back, but the toasted teacake warmed me belly up a bit!

Anyone fancy a trundle around my neck of the woods next weekend?
