Hello,
I want to buy a new motorcycle to travel across the europe with it (later i would ride it localy) so, i was wondering which model you would recommend to me. I want to buy Suzuki GSX-R 750 but i am not so sure about Suzuki brand. I have had a Kawasaki ZZR 1100 10 years ago and i can say all the best about it. I heard rummors that Suzuki is simply not comfortable for long distances. Is it true?
Also which model you can recommend in the same class (750)?
Thanks

1st off , Welcome to the TMW Forums Kulrom .
My spousette and I both have Suzukis and we find them extremely comfortable . However they are cruisers and not sport bikes . For me , none of the sport bikes look comfortable nor very ergonomical to ride . Only my opinion from a personal perspective .
Kind regards, Wizzard

It's not the bike, it's the fit. London to rome is only 897 miles. You could do that on a 250 easy.

Yeah, I agree with this line of thinking. Just think about an aftermarket seat to go with it though, from what I've read. There is both 650 and 1000. DL650 and DL1000.

Welcome to the Forums Kulrom.
There are many bikes & brands to choose from. How about visiting as many shops as you can & trying out a few for size & comfort?
Ultimately, it's going to be your choice of comfort, fit & style.
Get out there & see....It should be FUN!

Did I say "used"? Isn't the V-Strom available there as new?
If anything, I was implying that maybe a crotch rocket wasn't the best for touring and local running around.
Sorry if you thought otherwise.

You didn't. I actually thought about it for a minute and wondered if the V-Strom was available as new. You will ultimately pick the bike YOU want.
Have fun, be careful and ENJOY!
