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 :thumb:
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. :P
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.

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. :P

BMWs are nice bikes but :o :o I would rather have 3 or 4 of something else.
Or a Ducatti
I love those pipes on the Triumph. They look like the scrambler pipes on the old Honda scramblers from the mid to late 60's
