I just bought this bike after trading in my GS500F. It only took 3 days to tire of the GS, but you gotta learn somehow. All I have to say is WOW, what a difference! Before buying this bike, I was debating whether or not to get a gixxer, but I finally decided on this (mostly for the price and lower insurance rates). Man did I make a good choice. The low end torque on this bike is amazing. If you're not careful this bike will throw you to the ground. This isn't as powerful as the repli-racers, but there is plenty of power to use. And for those of you (like myself) that have to have a full fairing bike, Suzuki sells a lower fairing kit($587) complete with frame sliders, and painted. All in all, this bike has the power, style, handling, and price that is just too hard to beat. I highly recomend this bike. After finally getting past my 500 mile break in, I'm ready to see what she's really capable of. Remember to ride safe, and wear your gear.
