“Its my first second Suzuki and not a model I would...”

written by bladebod on 26/06/2008

Good Points
Performance, Gearbox, Looks, Sound.

Bad Points
Power and Brakes are not equally balanced. ie watchout for the emergency stop lurking around the corner. Funnily enough the rear brake is TOO effective and will try to lock the rear wheel up under heavy braking even if the pedal is lightly dabbed. Warning.

General Comments
Its my first second Suzuki and not a model I would have gone looking for, but as it came along at a reasonable price it was bought.

I've got to say its got plenty of poke in any gear - more than is usable in most circumstances really. The handling is very good - better even than my 98 Blade which I always thought was excellent anyway. And its light - not that it looks it - but it is.

I've got the HEL lines all round and assume that the brakes are now improved over what they were before but compared to the blade theyre lacking in grab. If they were as good as the 954 Blade then we would be talking the best all round bike I've owned to date.

The engines as rough under 4500 but apparently thats just the way it is and its a bit of a trade off for the ultra smooth top end - not that I dare go anywhere near that area.

All in all a beast of a bike - just needs lots of respect until you gel with it - get HEL lines, PC3, Hugger and youre looking at an awesome machine.
