It was very cloudy, so they look washed out... 









Sorry their aren't more, was too busy riding.   :D
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

I know it's actually not, but something about those pics makes the bike look very bulky and heavy :dunno_white:

Not that I've found.  I think it's pretty close to the perfect street bike.

The L-twin is incredibly smooth and pulls like a tractor, it gets about 45-50MPG, '03 on they're fuel injected.  Many claim the injection is "abrupt".  I think it's just right.  The bike likes to leap forward.  Of course, it runs out of steam after 100 or so, but why would you want more steam on the street?

I can't comment on stock, mine has waaay too many modifications.  Braking, suspension, wheels, bars, seating, luggage, etc.  But it is an easily modified motorcycle.  Of course, it's naked too.

I'm currently converting it to a long distance sport touring bike.  Building the Pelican case quick detach mounts now, actually.  For that duty, I think it's the cat's meow.

Suzuki really hit a home-run with that bike. It handles like a big GS with more guts and less weight, MUCH better transmission, and smooth as glass engine.  It's not buzzy at all.

Short focal distance on the camera.  It adds lens distortion, which makes things somewhat out of proportion.  I was trying to make the bike look bigger than the surroundings, thus the low angles.


It's just a $200 point-and-shoot Sony anyhow.  I keep the good camera at home, and it doesn't have a memory card slot.   :icon_mrgreen:
