I'm not brand loyal in the least... actually Kawi would be my last choice for a new bike... just don't like the looks... and really that's what it comes down to (as I've not sat on any of them) cause god knows performance wise they're so close and it'd take more than my pathetic ability to find a determinable difference in performance

im really dissapointed in this thing. gotta admit though i had my hopes up too high since what i really wanted was a gsv-r 1000 with forkless front suspension. then again suzuki is probably the only big four company that can make any real money on litres so i cant really be surprised that they decline to be radical

i know ebbs ive heard u mention getting a zuk n everyone else for the most part i know would prob ride nything, nothing wrong with loving n repping ur shit

has anyone on this site actually used this feature for what it's intended and is it really useful? i have heard guys say they just leave it in a all the time just wondering would it benefit practicing form at a wet track. i know it prob would kill lap times,but would it really make the bike safer on said surface or terrain. someone with two good hands go find a vid

I think it'd be nice for wet weather riding... HELP keep you from getting into trouble with too much throttle...

shit maybe I should get one of these and just leave it in 3 when I leave stop lights
