My wife absolutely loves ours. We got it for touring. Yes you read that right. It handles the mountain passes and wide open prairie and desert like a dream. Fast? Yes but that bike is so comfortable, many are surprised by how it feels. Admittedly my wife fell asleep on the back and once I noticed I brought an end to that but in her defense we do have a backrest for her as well. Fun little note for those that don't know, the Suzuki GSX1300R was created to put down the Honda CBR1100XX. Of course its more fitting to go by their names Hayabusa ('Peregrine' Falcon) vs Super Blackbird. 😄 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Local kid put 24" tires on his Yamaha Raptor (sock is 20)... says to the riding group "I don't understand, I'm not going as fast as I was before" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
