Gixxer owners don't like hedges or bushes, they prefer troughs, gullies and deep potholes to park in.

Not being a KTM you have the advantage of not having countless faults to sort out or the absolute necessity of breakdown cover :wink:

I’m not going to call you gay but I am going to say very nice bike. That looks a mint Gixxer and if normal Suzukis are anything to go by they she will go for thousands of miles without issue. The engines are normally bullet proof. Also will go like a rocket in a straight line but they are heavy to turn at speed so effort is required if you getting on with it.

Enjoy

In truth it’s the last five years I’ve spent on adventure bikes that are the exception to the rule. The sports bikes are calling my name again ;-)

Thanks for the tip … I’ve spent a large chunk of my biking life on 90s Ducatis so I’m well used to that!

Brilliant bike. Mine had more low/midrange than my later 2019 Fireblade. At least it felt like it.
