I am relatively new to bikes, and purchased one of these a little while back, I have to say what a great bike, ok its not a full on sports bike but its great for long journeys or whizzing round town, its easily capable of 140mph and really does not mess about getting there. As for long journeys 2 hours in the saddle is no problem at all, you will stop for petrol before you stop to relieve aches and pains !!! all in all a solid bike, suzuki reliability is famous and the build quality is excellent. If your looking for something that has speed but is also somewhat sensible I dont think you can go far wrong.

The only thing that is different about the bike is the styling, the bike world call it a teapot ! its styling is unique but does offer plenty of protection from the elements.
