Wojo72 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Picked up the new ride this afternoon. So far I really like it. I can't wait to get some break in miles on it so that I can give it hell. Felt good on the ride home. When I got home my wife took one look at it and said "How old are we?" LOL. She didn't complain when I took her for a spin around the hood though. Edited July 7, 2016 by Wojo72 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Nice bike! Think Suzuki did a good job with this bike...better looking and better performance compared to the FZ line. The FZ10 may change the performance side though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpaw Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Nice! Does the wind hit you straight in the chest at highway speeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice it on the way home today but I'm coming from a FZ-07. If you are used to a wind screen it might be annoying. I think that I ran it up to about 80 between the shop and the office. The rest of the way home was back roads. Edited July 7, 2016 by Wojo72 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Yamaha needs to build a more affordable Multistrada platform type of bike with that beasty V4 1200 that they only ever stuff in the Vmax. Would definitely be good competition for the KTM SA, Multi, Tiger Sport, etc. I know they can think outside the box, they did a good job on the MT10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Ditched the yammy eh? That's a perdy blue. As for wind, you don't really notice it on nakeds until around 80+, it doesn't get bad until 130+ or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for wind, you don't really notice it on nakeds until around 80+, it doesn't get bad until 130+ or so. The Yammy and I never really bonded. So far I really like this Suzuki. If I can get the clutch lever adjusted I'll be a happy camper. That's my only complaint about the bike so far. It feels like the spring for the lever isn't strong enough. There's a little bit of slop when I release the lever. I find myself tapping it with my finger to get it to fully retract. It doesn't really affect anything. Just bugs me.
