One of the best middle-weights around. Good power-to weight ratio, similar to the Kwak ER=6 but a tad better, with loads of bottom end and mid range. A bullet-proof engine which is unbelievably smooth powering through a light crisp gearbox, not a clunk to be heard, and fuel injection which sees me get an average of 65 mpg- really. If I welly her, it goes down to about 60. Won't keep up with the really fast stuff of course, but in everyday life in the real world there's more than enough power. 6 speeds and a tall gearbox mean that you can sit at motorway speeds all day long with the motor spinning sweetly. Brakes and suspension are what you'd expect from a no-frills budget bike, nothing to shout about but they work fine.

The bike has masses of torque as a result it gets through at least one chain and sprockets a year . The brakes could be better as could the seat but you're getting a pretty good deal for the money . Top end is well over 100 mph but you will have little use for it and the wind factor will make you slow down anyway . It needs a centre stand to make the maintenance a little easier . I can see that it has the relevant holes to fit one , just a pity suzuki hasn't put it on . Engine sounds sweet I had the bike from new back in 2009 , in 2017 it is still as good as it was when I bought it . This bike is for short guys and girls so if your a bit on the tall side I would look at something more to your height . The radiator can steam up when the weather is foul but a mud flap on the front mud guard should sort that out , you can also get protectors for the radiator if needed . The bike is a lot of fun and is pretty cheap for what your getting , I have highlighted the bad points here but trust me when I say dont dismiss it as it is a fun bike and a good work horse too .

Amazing bike. It's been lowered professionally as I am short and hasn't compromised on the handling. I would recommend this bike to anyone and everyone. It does what it's supposed to and I won't be getting another bike anytime soon. I love it, it's the best bike I've owned and it looks the part. Happy owner!!
