I myself am very partial to suzuki's.  I have had Every major brand of moto's and quads, and to me by far the best id suzuki

I have only owned Suzuki and Yamaha products; '04 Suzuki GS500F, '04 Yamaha Zuma, and a '01 Yamaha Beartracker. All are great machines for what they are

I'm not brand-loyal, but Suzuki seems to make exactly what I am looking for in a bike. Reliable, easy to maintain and work on, cheap, stylish, and with plenty of aftermarket support.

The GS is perfect for me right now. When I get a new bike it will most likely be an SV650. Not too much power, everything mentioned above, it also doesn't cosst an arm and a leg to insure. It's got streetable V-twin power, which is VERY important to me. I'd look further into a Ducati Monster, but they aren't reliable enough.

If I decided to go for an I-4 sportbike, I'd most likely go for a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R (2003+, for the 636 displacement). I've heard so much good stuff about it.

I consider other brands, but Suzuki usually gets it right.

Eeeew!   Not with Lucas Electric on board.  The Prince of Darkness.   :lol:  :mrgreen:

BTW:  The headlight switch has three positions:  Off, Flicker, and Dim.  

The Lucas motto:  "Get home before dark".

Lucas denies having invented darkness, however, they still claim "Sudden, unexpected darkness".

Lucas:  The patent holder for the short-circuit.  Also inventor of the first intermittent wiper.

Lucas Electrics:  The original anti-theft device.

Probably has Amal carbs too.  AKA "The metered leak".

The blinker switch has three positions too:  Smoke, Smolder, and Ignite.

I'll stop pounding Brit Tech into the ground now.

:mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

Oh yeah...  Lucas decided to start making vacuums in the 60's.  It's the only thing they ever made that didn't suck.   :lol:

I never thought I would have something in common with davipu

Mmm. I'm not a fan of enduro bikes, but that one isn't so bad. I would LOVE having a Thruxton or one of the new Daytona 675 Triples... Triumph is making some great stuff right now. The new Speed Triple is a good bike, but I'm conflicted as to wether or not I like the styling of it.

Those pipes are nasty.

i agree those pipes are nasty.

Bah, just another adventure tourer.  The Kan-o-tuna of scramblers.  That big, heavy thing certainly isn't going to be winning any enduros.
