The all new 650F

Yup, Katana here in the states. I good friend was looking to move to something bigger than his GS500F and was considering this, but decided it wasn't a big enough change. Fairly upright seating position, deceptively heavy (I don't know if the balance point is higher or what?), it's not really anything I'd fancy. When you put it head to head with other I4 of the same displacement it's pretty dissapointing, IMO.

Yes, I am in the US and this bike is very new to us...

We have always had the naked bandit or the dressed Katana.

This GSX650F is like a mix of the two.

But must important, I am looking for comfort on a sport bike setting and this seems to be the one. I am going to research some more and proabably will jump the wagon.

I am kind of waiting for the 2009 SV650 to come out but I doubt it would be any comfy, it for sure will be more on the race edge then on the comfort zone as the 650F seems to be.

Thank you for the forum link, I should be able to find all info needed about the bike there.

Take care!

Nah they aren't a sports bike, if you want a comfy sports bike then what about the FZ1 type thing?

Great bike, does everything well and very comfy. Yep, me tested one out.
