Hi everyone,

 

Recently decided to trade in my bike for this. Torque wise feels rather adequate considering the last bike i owned was bigger. Top wise no comments as still in running in. Riding dimensions wise its similar to an S4.

 

Possessing a bulletproof Katana engine, oil cooled and with an emphasis of midrange torque. When revved it the engine pitch sounds similar to a Hornet and the pipes similar to the Fazer. Throttle response is suprisingly good as well.

 

Only qualms is the windprotection from its half fairing could be better but still its far better than a naked bike. A touring windscreen with windlip should make it more comfy.

 

Overall i feel its quite like 'a value for $$' kinda bike...

 

Hong Nam claims ard 20+ units have been sold but i have onli once seen another black GSF on the road.

 

Any GSF riders who actively surf in the SBF? Looking for fellow riders...
