GSX-S 750

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Been out for an hours ride at lunch time, it was cold.
I'd taken some preload out of the front forks and it feels better, it also feels a bit like a supermoto, but with 4 cylinders, a lot of weight and a very smooth engine, then you look down and the world's widest fuel tank is beneath you.

I've done a bit over 250 miles on it now, I'm tempted to reduce the tyre pressures for winter to give it a bit more grip.

I should get out on it tomorrow and Sunday as the weather here is supposed to be dry.

Nice work. I'm still warming back up from my lunch ride too !

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

I stopped for some chips half way round, so I didn't get that cold as I've a nice layer of fat to keep me warm

Now that sounds like a good plan.

No pics though. !

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Okay, tomorrow I'll take a picture of my lunch

You need to change the front brake MC to one that has an external res, then you could fit on of these...

Cheesy must have a paddock jacket or three lurking in his wardrobe too.

No they all went in the bin years ago, I'm currently at a breezy Size well, photos later

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

I've now done nearly 300 miles on it, the more I ride it the more I like it, headed down to Shotley, then to Orwell Motorcycles, they've got the new Z650RS in stock in green, and the 2022 Z900RS, which looks nice but I don't think it's worth over £10K. Then round to Stowmarket, where I joined the A1120 to Yoxford, some of the sharp S bends were quite slippery, and it felt like the front end was sliding a little, a grippier front tyre would fix this. Then onto Sizewell for a cup of tea, then rode home via RAF Bentwaters.

That red ZRX1200S with the green wheels, what was he thinking?

[KungFooBob]

The GSX-S is growing on me. I think I didn't like it initially because my next-door neighbour had a GSR750 which always looked a bit 'budget'. The GSX-S looks a bit more premium with it's radial brakes and GP paint scheme.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

It is a bit budget, the rear shock especially so, I also don't like any of the other paint schemes it comes in, they look a bit cheap.

But it's similar spec to the Z900 and costs 2 grand less.

It's a lovely bike to ride, I'm going along roads about 20mph faster than I was on my FZ.
