French Suzuki's invade Folkestone
 

I was out with the family in Folkestone at the weekend when I saw this SV 650 with posh monogrammed leather upholstery and a bunch of other Yams and Suzis including a very nice looking Bandit come cruising by and park up outside the Leas Cliff Hall (music venue). Only managed a few one-handed snaps while pushing the pram past ;)

What a nerve, invading on their shiny, accessorised scoots! Anyone fancy a run over to Boulogne to drink all their beer and leer at their mademoiselles, just to pay them back for their cheek?

Looks a bit like custom Bagster seats..?

Re: French Suzuki's invade Folkestone
 

Yup, easier to get over there as Bagster is a french company.

Nice looking, shame the grey isn't 100% colour matched.

I dont like the tank cover just doesnt match the bike

Re: French Suzuki's invade Folkestone
 

I don't know why they would bother coming to England. Our roads and general driver behaviour is way below standard in comparison to theirs.

Re: French Suzuki's invade Folkestone
 

True, we do have some of the worse drivers in the europe

Re: French Suzuki's invade Folkestone
 

The only place in Europe I have felt more afraid on the motorways than in Britain was in Hungary last year. :shock::shock:

Main road to Budapest at night was where the other drivers scared me the most.

Re: French Suzuki's invade Folkestone
 

They can't resist our warm beer, and I'm not so sure about our roads in comparison to theirs: Yes, they've got a lot of smooth immaculate tarmac, but I've been on some pretty cr*ppy local roads over there. You'd think it was an earthquake zone the way some of them have subsided or have that hard-to-see undulation that keeps smacking your nuts against the tank if you haven't spotted the dips and rises in time.

Re: French Suzuki's invade Folkestone
 

yeah, i wouldn't say the roads were that brill, some are easily as bad as ours.
