It's a bit of a gurl's bike. Not as bad as the MT07, but still gay.
I was hoping they had the mans version too as a comparison, but for a Suzuki dealer they don't seem to have many bikes at all.

That's a nice bike, a proper man's bike, in a very nice colour, I know someone who has an Ixil exhaust for one they'd happily sell

A man so happy with his bike would not charge to make a fellow owner happy :)

Must admit this does worry me with the Suzuki. How common is it?

Today I've been all set on an MT09, then this popped up round the corner. Be rude not to have a butchers

It's on my list already, although I'd want a 20 model for the TC and TFT with one of them. The Kwak I suspect would be better build quality

Seems to be fairly common, but it could just be the people with cracked headlights are quite vocal.

The headlight is nearly £300, takes about 30 minutes to fit.

About the same price as replacing the 690s rockers of doom! Although less serious
