Gsx-s1000f incoming, back on a suzuki finally
So with all the MOT changes my thoughts of modifications galore with my beast rocket 3 roadster have come to an abrupt stop....had the bike since 2013 from new and it's be great...call it a mid life crisis but today I started the trade in for a GSX-S1000F after test riding one....
Anyone here riding one? Care to pitch in and tell me how you're getting on with it? I had a blast on the test ride I must say, the fuelling, weight, steering response all seemed very decent to me.... This weekend they have a deal on too, £1000 off RRP for a 68 plate if the deal is done before the weeks over, so I bit the bullet, and I've ended agreeing to ordering one, and with nothing to pay after trade in...assuming he doesn't go back on his word (valued the rocket 3 roadster at £9500 trade-in!) The only trouble I have is I can't decide on the bloody colour! What do you guys think? The matt black phantom one is out of the question, I'm not going to try to keep a matt finish bike looking good, bike needs to be shiny to be polished  and I already have a white tiger...so it's either black/blue or black/red  What do you guys think? I'm edging towards the red...but why is this so damn hard to decide!

Re: Gsx-s1000f
haha, you would say silver.....sleeping on it but red wins it for me so far...that blue is so classically suzuki though....I always wanted an sv in that colour back in the day
I still can't get over the test ride today, mate that thing goes, red lines at 11K rpm and goes bonkers from about 9K traction and wheelie control definitely helps

Re: Gsx-s1000f
Blue all the way. Blue ones are faster too. Don't be fooled by what those other liars say....

Re: Gsx-s1000f
Bit too much black on the blue model
Don't forget the classic Heron Suzuki's of the 70 & 80's were red, white & black

Re: Gsx-s1000f
Get the matt one, it should make a good primer for a custom spray paint job.
