Please share your feelings on that GSX
After 400 miles:
Pros:
The build quality is very good. Appearance is striking with the Triton Blue paint/wheels
The K5 engine (variant) is smooth with a ferocious top end
The transmission/ quick shifter are excellent
TFT screen is excellent- very easy to read no matter what time of day or light
Heated grips have 3 heating levels and get plenty hot
Seat comfort is pretty good - my limit is 90 minutes. In general ergonomics are really good for me, a taller rider
Handy USB port in dash
Luggage is excellent - easy to take on and off. Confirmed myself that full face helmet fits
Cons:
No adjustable windscreen. many owners choosing aftermarket options. I got a Puig and then installed a clip on deflector to finally make the aero work
No remote adjustable preload on the shock. Not a big deal for me as I ride solo
Suzuki MySpin app is useless - wish OEMs would start using CarPlay. Most owners not connecting phone through the dash.
The tires don’t last long and some reports of squirreliess in the wet. Lots of good options for replacement tires.
No center stand
Meh:
The suspension is okay. I haven’t really pushed it yet. It’s pretty compliant but doesn’t have a lot of travel. No complaints. Some owners replacing the shock and upgrading springs in fork.
Some strong vibes in the pegs at 6k / 70 mph but overall nothing to worry about
Mileage around 41mpg
Kickstand doesn’t feel that substantial
Some of the switchgear takes getting used to with gloves on
Mirrors are okay.
