GSX-S 750

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

The cockpit is an F4 Phantom?

Suzuki make Phantom editions of their bikes... which yours isn't one of?

Both you and ChrisW are correct, weirdly my log book does say it's a Phantom, even though it isn't.

[Mr. Dazzle]

It's, fine that plane is mostly not a Phantom either.

3000 miles now, still enjoying riding it

[Skub]

It'll be a keeper,if you're not careful.

Don't you sell keepers after having them a couple of months and barely riding them?

Some keepers are better than others

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Apparently my fully adjustable YSS shock has been delivered, on the day Sideshow_Pob said it would, excellent.

[Skub]

Is it fitted and tested yet?

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Is it fitted and tested yet?

No, I'm at work, I also need to see if I've got the right ABBA stand parts for the bike, I'd forgotten about this until now.

[Skub]

Tut.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Done 200 miles on it today, a big triangle of Ipswich, Downham Market and Cromer, had chips near Cromer, I know how to live, used £25 of petrol.

[Skub]

Depending on the price per litre,that must be about 60mpg. That's pretty damn good.

My 1000 is showing 48.9mpg for my commute on Thursday and Dad taking it out just now. Bloody amazing imo.

I was tootling round today, if I ride it properly I get knackered after an hour.

Paid £1.78 a litre.

Probably more like 60, as I've realised I did 20 miles before filling up this morning, bike shows a predicted range of 180ish miles after filling up, if I use the performance it usually shows 160ish.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Fair play, that bike has obviously ticked the right boxes for you, I can't remember the last time I did anywhere near that mileage on a bike in one go.

Neither can I, I've done 3400 miles on it in 6 months of owning, last time I did that sort of mileage was probably on my first YPVS in 1990

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Just realised the above is not quite true, the last time I did 3400 miles in under 6 months was in 2000, when I bought an R1 and I was doing 1000 miles a month - all pleasure miles, the R1 cost a lot more to run than the GSX-S, it drank petrol and ate tyres.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Got my arse in gear to and fitted the rear shock today, had to move the indicator relay otherwise the remote resovoir would have hit it.
