Hopefully it wont cost much more than the speed four (the speed four is/was a downright steal at the price they were selling it for). Plus the 675 nearly matches the 1050 in power anyway 123hp vs 130hp. Even 123hp is more power than I would ever need, I would be happy with 100hp from my next bike.
i think im at a dead end now. since i already have a 1K, there's no where else to go. just need to add mods in the future, i guess.

i don't really see the busa as an upgrade from my bike.

but maybe if suzuki decides to mass produce the GSV-R, then maybe i'll get that as my next bike. :laughing:

Dude, don't be offended, but I suggest you haven't even left the parking lot yet, nevermind reaching a dead end. Figuratively speaking, of course. :wink:

It's not a comment on your riding, it's just that you don't the experience on any bike to really know what you want or even like..... looks don't count here.....

You may be surprised at what you finally decide is the bike for you after you get some serious seat time...... it may be that a Gixxer is your style after all, but there is a world of bikes and an even bigger world of riding that you have completely discounted based solely on appearance...
No Witnesses.... :shifty:

Damn BuzZz you can get all sensible and stuff sometimes :laughing:
Thats just the kind of comment I would make, you are of course a hundred percent right. Tastes change over the years. 50 years ago those hero's in that pic all rode HD's
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R
