Ok after 3 months with this bike I have concluded that all in all it's great bike with one glaring exception. The suspension sucks !!!! So, I am going to rework the front forks and replace the rear shock in an attempt to get the bike to handle better.It does a great job as an everyday commuter and a touring bike but just doesn't have what it takes in the twisties. Has anyone ventured into this and, if so, what did you do to the bike? Once I get the bike done (Having the work done by a long time racer and mechanic) I'll post the results.
The bike is not intended to perform like a sports bike. I agree the front end will bounce around if ridden hard. I like the bike for short cruises, however, when I have ridden with friends that have cruisers they are far more comfortable than I am. When I ride with friends that have true sport bikes, it is tough to keep up. The bike is intended for a combination of sport and touring. I have modded mine to make it a little more comfortable and a little louder, but that is about it. I think that I am going to be going to a Harley Davidson Road King in the next couple of months. Will probably keep my GSX though, because it is fun. Good luck wtih your mods.
