Good Points

Overall good cheap, street touring motorbike, reliable as, 45mpg on a trip, has great torque, easy to ride, comfortable on trips.


Bad Points

I would like gear indicator selection lights but just my preference.
No real bad points, my bike has done 43,000 kms looks like new.
I live in NZ so no salt on the roads that destroy the paint.


General Comments

The standard rear shock absorber is not up to much, change this for a GSXR/Busa shock (they bolt in) and the bike handles far better, change the exhausts and get the usual jets job done, cheap to do, & you get another 15hp, a must do to give the bike that edge.
Hey if the bike came standard with with all this done bike it would still be cheaper than the opposition.
Hey. A great all round grunter, that can easily lift the front wheel in the first 3 gears. Remember its not GSXR, so don't buy one if you want to race, buy if you like to ride, cruise, tour and generally whizz around.
I recommend them as great bike with a unbustable motor that is oil cooled so will still be going in 30 years time, ie. (no water cooling corrosion problems here).
