Do you know how it goes when your wife decides that something is "not for her"?

Yep. That's how I own 3 bikes (don't need 3). I picked up the Trophy after she decided "it wasn't for her", I couldn't bear to see it go.High_Side wrote:Do you know how it goes when your wife decides that something is "not for her"?HYPERR wrote:Heli-bars?High_Side wrote: I would have loved to but she couldn't comfortably reach the bars

Re: This Week - 2012 Suzuki GSX1250FA Touring: Vote & Discus
I voted Awesome.
I've always liked the Bandit and see that this new version of it is a great improvement. I didn't mind the naked/half faired version (and you guys know I like naked and half faired bikes) but to me a 1200 cc bike needs to offer some good touring capabilities and the previous bandit just didn't have this. So I consider this model to be better in that regard, plus it looks great, is low weight and has a great price. Awesome all the way!

Great voting and discussion guys and gals! And for the results you have been waiting for...
Your Coolness Factor of the 2012 Suzuki GSX1250FA ST/SEA Touring is...
Awesome 41%
Cool 32%
Uncool 27%
Fail 0%
At 41% Awesome, it really does show Suzuki can breath new life into a bike that's based on a old design, as long as it's priced competitively and handes well. Way to go Suzuki. Maybe they will bring back a few more classic Suzuki's and do the same... A naked GS series anyone?
