Had one since April last year ( 54 plate ), they are comfy if you're over 5' 10" otherwise you end up sitting on the skinny bit of the seat and it tells on your inner thighs and wrists after a bit, tank range I believe is 150 miles with about 30 in reserve, although I've never tried it as I always fill back up when I've done 100 miles ( force of habit after the NSR a few years back )...
Speed wise they top out at around 155, all in all a good all round tool, engine braking's a bitch if you aren't expecting it, and the tank's made for smashing your plums into, mirrors are cack so get the extension pieces if you can, other than that I love mine...
Oh, suspension needs some fiddling with unless it's factory settings ( I have those somewhere if you need them )...  ____________________ Previous Bikes...Honda NSR 125 RR...Kawasaki Zephyr 550...Suzuki SV 1000 S...Yamaha FZ8...Current Bike...Suzuki GSX-R 750... |
