- Suzuki GSX250R Review, It looks great and it's cheap with low mpg and can be ridden on the A2 motorcycle licence! but it is only 25bhp, In the A2 licence category where you are allowed 48bhp....so is it terrible or has it got some good points?
Big thanks to Haslemere Motorcycles

I got one yesterday. Love love love him! I'm just a learner, I'm so happy I got the 250 for the start of my motorcycle life. I got my wife the 125. It's brilliant too!
It is a fantastic first bike, will teach you a lot about cornering skill over straight line speed 👍
Great bike, as i said to Spicy ive owned Katana 1100, GT550's, etc etc, this little big bike is awesome at handling, you can really throw it about, it wants to lean over, and filters well through traffic with its narrow body.
How refreshing to watch a review on a small bike by someone who knows how to ride one, so many just run them down and take the Michael. Nice job Spicy as always.
The bike looks sharp! I'm glad I started on a lower CC bike, there are people that try to pressure someone to start on a bigger CC bike I didn't listen to them! I don't regret it.
The reason thay used a 250 was they had a motor all ready made! If they wanted a 300 it would off cost $$. Also this bike is mainly aimed for the asian market where a 250 is as big as a bike beginners can ride and theres more money to be made in that part off the world then the rest combined! It was a smart move in a way as 300cc bike in these asian countries you have to have you're full licence!! P.S if you're squirting id see a doctor about that lol
Great video spicy! That's what a modern 125 should be in my opinion.
I think the 250 is a good choice. Once you have got used to the bike it has the potential to tweak the bike for extra power without it going over the A2 threshold.
Be as happy in life as spicy was when he found the shift light. Its all about the little things 😂👌
Really love one of those. I own a 650 Bandit, but far too heavy and powerful for the twisty roads where I live. Thanks for the video, first UK ride and review I've seen on RUclips. Cheers 👍
Absolute cracking review there chap from a silent fan :)
Great review. Thanks for the varied description of the bike.
Thank you for this I have had this bike since september and had no idea it had a whole compartment lol
great ride is my suzuki gsx250r , the bike handles like a dream i have the same bike in motogp setup with lots of additional spec,really love my ride and i have been riding for 42 years...so im no spring chicken, keep up the good work lad
Nice review :) But when you're showing the dash, it's kinda hard to see what you're pointing at, maybe a second handheld camera for those close ups shots would be a nice addition :)
Great review! I must have myself one of those GSX-250..
Oh you must, go for the GP colours it looks sweet.
I had one of the 1st GSX250,s and it was a great Bike in all weather's hail rain Snow and ice up and down the A road's and Motorways Liverpool to London and back most weekends and it never let me down once Bullet proof Engine although it was a little bit rattles at 11,000 rpm but that's to be expected with 60,000 on the clock....Thats looks a super bike for the newly a2 rider and would save many younger rider's lives..Great revue as always Spicy 👍👍👍
Yo spicy great video! I noticed that you mentioned the price being similar to a yzf r125 and I was wondering if you could possibly do a review on it?
that sounds like a really smooth engine
The thing I like about you Spicy is you get there's a lot of different customers out there. In America these get dismissed immediately because of the displacement, because people don't understand small bikes. You've been there through the whole CBT slog and so you get it.
Thinking of getting this as my next bike. Had a Ninja 125 and sadly it got stolen this morning. Gonna do my A2 first obviously haha but tempted
I agree with you Spicey small cc is the way to learn I've swapped a 1250 GSX for a 250 SM and it's been an amazing fun packed season 2017 this little Suzy looks great love it enough well said ! 👍👍👍👍
I have dropped down for everyday use from CBR 600F to CBR 250R fantastic bike for getting about & Sunday A road blast are such fun .can be little tiring on long motorway runs
Interesting fact though the 1989 model is over 44 HP and a top speed of 111mph or 180 Km/hr
the allen key under the pillion seat is to undo the seat, that allows you to get to the toolkit and the battery
I have the original version of this bike as a commuter GW250 Inazuma, I literally saw it on sale for the same price as YBRs and CBF125s so it was a no brainer. It's a great bike to complement my FZ1
Spicy please get a yz125 would love to see a review
Hi, Spicy really like your video's there always funny and informative. You've inspired me to go do my CBT and get my license at the age of (cough!) 44 now's the time to go get it. Reälly like 250 bikes as I suffer from short arse disease.
+FAST FORDS 1973 haha awesome I just had a message from a chap who is 60 and is doing the same so you are a spring chicken still 😀
haha! you hang about usually wait for an age for a reply back
I do wonder if they made the A1 licence valid for 250cc upto ~20bhp and then sorted out the disaster that is retaking your tests per license group (ie for A1>A2) and went with something sensible like progressive training, you might see a niche for these kind of bikes. You could have a really nice progression that promoted learning and gradually moving up power/engine sizes
lol right after you said "so its still got sone left" first thing that I see is "slow" written on the ground lol that was funny. I love the bike I think it is perfect for a new rider such as myself! :)
I'm planning to get this bike next year. But i'm still confused whether to buy this or the Inazuma (GW250), some of my friends recommend the Kawasaki Z250, i really like touring bike, knowing that this bike is using the Inazuma's engine really makes me happy. Touring machine with sport bike look, which i think is very interesting, and it looks fun to ride! (Greetings from Indonesia)
Utilising the Inazuma engine for cheapness ,built to a price .Would love to see a 400cc van van.
Comparison rides with R3/MT03, Ninja 300, BMW etc??
I understand suzuki done this to keep R&D cost down and have best in class mpg
Ooh that's nice
If I was gonna get a bike just for economical commuting as a supplement for my fun bike, I would probably get something like this or a cb300f just for something cheap with great mpg. But I would try to find something that was a hold over to even be cheaper. I saw a gw250 for like 2000 something US dollars that was a hold over. Just can’t get more affordable than that other than a scooter
spicy, any chance of a ninja 250 review?
How things change I grew up on rgv250's and nc30's, what's happened to the world.
I get why Suzuki built this bike. It’s explained on their global site and by one of their head engineers. Their reasoning isn’t wrong. That said, they could have done a 300 easily. I think this goes to show how Suzuki think compared to their competitors, or how little money they have to develop new products. This 250 is at the bottom of the class in terms of power and yet is one of the heaviest. Their GSX-R125, at the top of its class, is a far better choice and it’s an A1 bike. Too bad it’s not sold in North America.
turbo311 yes,the gsxr-125 is sold in north America but not in the U.S.
all the small cc bikes are high up in rpm range. i owned a ninja 300 and although im sure it had more power it felt unstable on highway. that bike looms like it is more stable on the highway.
Great review, spot on it every department. I own one, and FUN with good looks sums it up.. I've owned to up 1100cc machines, this little bike reminds me of when i first started riding with a bit more power.
can you please do the ninja 300 or r3 next?
It kinda sounds like the Z300 i rode, but with out the extra oef off power.
300 would sound more logical, specially considering the market is around that 300 cc.
Great looking bike, sadly it's not R family of GSX, i got myself GSXR150, great small sport bike
Perfect for me. I'm 5 foot 7 130 lbs.
The reason it has a 250cc engine, is because they used the same engine from the Inazuma 250, with little to no modifications.
I love the look of it, though. The price is even better!
+Matthew Perry yer I know.
Spicy can you please review the 2017 Ktm RC 125, for us still on a provisional
mark hill I'd not get a new 125 tbh. They aren't going to be much faster than anything else and your gonna have to pay a lot more.
I'd buy a used bike for 1 to 1.5k then save the money and spend it either on gear or save it for the next bike.
Yeah, they just used the engine from another bike so it would be cheap, and it is mostly made for Asian markets where 250 is descent sized and in some of them they tend to need to be 250cc or they are way more expensive due to some laws. But hopefully in a few years they will have a bored out version. I actually would like having 125/150, a 250, and a 400cc version. I really wish there were some more 400cc bikes around as I think they are some of the nicer bikes around. I would buy one and I am not limited. They got more oomph than the 250s but are still small and light even compared to the 500s it done right. They are bout perfect all around bikes if made light
250s and 400s are two of my favorite sizes of bikes. No, the 250 isn't the nicest for an actual freeway, but I honestly don't like riding there much anyway. 55 mph two lane highways are way more fun.
This is designed for more mid range , 15 to 55 mph , its a great learner bike , Ninja 300 and R 3 are high reving and meke way more power up in the rev range.
V Storm 250.review next?
Is it a coincidence that I got an ad for Suzuki Gixxer on this vid? xD
Im over in America and love riding the small bikes. Started on a CBR250R, moved to a SV650. I missed the small size and playability of the CBR so i got rid of the SV for a XT225 Dual Sport. Get to play on and off road. The only place i dont feel comfortable is on the Freeway where speeds are over 70mph. Its out of its element at that point. But everything else is fun as hell. Insurance is like $13 a month and gets 70mpg. A small bike is way more entertaining on tight slow roads. Majority of americans thrive on the bigger is better crap. I have more fun throwing a bike around and not worrying about the power. I would only need the power on the freeway.
+Kevin Barlage totally agree you would love the English roads it's ribbons of twisty technical corners at 60mph so larger bikes are just a bit of a waste you can use the engine much and are paying a lot more to do so!
under powered is when u go to over take a truck get even with it but the wind shear stops u over taking.....
last bike was 150cc
Hi spicy if your a learner is the limit a 125 or has the law changed am 30 years old but need a small bike 2 get work and back as it would b my first bike
A2 Street Triple S! Pick mine up on Monday :D
Samuel Wicks congratulations man. Wish I could afford that kind of bike. But I'm getting an older Sv650 when I have the money
Ben climo SV's are a bunch of fun, and sound aggressive as fuck with an aftermarket exhaust 👍🏽
Samuel Wicks yeah that's why I'm getting one hehe. My mum's got an Sv650 too with an after market exhaust and they do sound good
Test ride the lexmoto hawk
I can only assume the piddly power is to fit into the A2's power-to-weight restriction
+Spectre223 possible but I don't think so, it's more to do with a engine Suzuki already makes and that brings cost down.
It’s it’s got his shift light lol ... awesome😎
What is a shift light
@@terrymoore4208 The led lights up at a predetermined rpm.
@@jeannoelsandrazie1874 in the early 1990 when I had my cbr 600 flat out it would cut out on 2 cylinders
What kind of bike do you ride and how did you come up with the name spicy110 ?
He doesn't actually ride a motorcycle. He's a farmer and drives tractors all day. He takes bikes out for reviews, like this one, and passes them off as his own after he's recorded about 50 videos in a day.
As for his name, it's order number 110 at his local Chinese take away, and he orders it 'spicy' with extra chilli, and red peppers.
Any body having problems playing this on Phillips Android tv? Sound fine but pictures fragmented into lines. Older videos on this channel play no problem.
yes small bikes are rad ! low mpg enough power to do some stuff ;)
4:35 "A nice, soft dip.." Like hummus? Or maybe cottage cheese? ;)
+David Carr bahaha maybe some guacamole!
New bike for Reeno ? Swap the rear sprocket that should give it a bit more top end at a lower rpm, a pipe and tune should release the ponies too, euro 4 with linked braking ?
+Mrflash222006 no she has her eye on something with a bit more poke. 🙂
you let here loose on Derek yet :), I know Reeno is use to something small and lacking :P
my budfy is 6 foot 3 and he looks big on a 1000
Glad I got my 250 ninja :) also it's not check oil light it's a high or low oil pressure indicator ... :)
+adi currell it was displaying the word "check" on the dash.
spicy110 will be pressure :) I feel like I'm talking to someone famous haha keep up the good work ! Ur vids got me into Bikeing still have my Sinnis lol and the ninja now
+adi currell yes and low oil pressure tends to mean.... Low oil level thus check the oil! Haha I'm not famous just well known haha 🙂
Or rings gone and so on :)
+adi currell not on a bike with 200 miles on it haha
oh hello there
You've all but sold this bike to me. And if/when Suzuki or a third-party company build a top case rack/kit for it then I have my future post-test bike.
+CommissarBlack do test Ride a couple of more powerful bikes, but if a 250 is what you are after defo one to consider
Good advice
I read compliant as "complaint" for some reason....
What a difference with C2W review a couple days back. But then again you are both riding for different reasons and in completely different enviroments. He is saying no character, you are saying it has character. I thought that was funny.
+N-rijder yer I watched his after making mine as I don't want to be influenced by others. Fact is it's a A2 bike made for the European and eastern market and on American roads I can see why he saw it so differently, tho I do disagree on a few points. It's brakes are not dangerous he's just used to dual disk sportbike brakes.
I agree with Mr 110 all it needs to be a perfect bike in this class is a bit more power and tourque. I think it was a big mistake, bringing a bike to this class so late in the day, it needs to be able to compete on both paper and on the road.
i personally think this bike had the american market in mind when it was made, it's been made very budget and i think it's trying to be sold over there and in Australia as a good cheap bike to learn on in asia it will probably be sold as a premium bike, it might sell in europe well for A2 if people decide to start riding at A2 age in the uk you must have a CBT to do a test most people will do 2 years on 125 especially A2 riders maybe not so much once you get into the DAS age groups they want that instant gratification and being a A2 rider with lots of A2 friends i just don't think any of them would buy this bike because it's not a big enough step up from your 125 and im very happy with A2 but alot of the guys i know think after 2 years of riding a 125 3 miles a day they''re ready to go jump on a hyabusa
N-rijder I think he tries and doesn't real that in general he just doesn't like Suzuki's. I think they just are a different taste than he likes. I like how they always seem to try to do more with less and cost less. Honda may do that better, but I tend to find the honda's nice but bland for what I like. I like peaky motors, and Honda usually just makes theirs all smooth, which is great but not my taste
I also recall he wasn't particularly keen on the VanVan 200 either, citing its lack of power as his main problem. I think that, as Spicy says, riding these lower-powered bikes in the U.S gives you a completely different perspective, as they're really not built for those roads (come to think of it, aren't there, like, barely any 125s on the market over there? Their perspective sure is different).
Imagine that with the DRZ400 engine
+Louis Gordon tbh we did talk about possible engines for it but I don't think the Drz is the right one needs more Revs imo. But if you gave the Dr 6 longer gears could be pretty damn good!
I've always wanted a sports bike, but the insurance wouldn't be very cost effective. It's cheaper just to ride the 125cc bike everywhere in first for that authentic high pitched sporty sound until the clutch and engine blows up with a nice backfire popping sound, and then simply replace the engine every few days.
Seriously though, insurance seems to be a real issue for a lot of new riders. So while the lower Kw in power doesn't peak for A2 license holders, it may be a lot happier in the pocket for them while still maintaining their desire for a GSX bike.
Also, is this a UK/EU only spec'd bike? It seems other places around the world who don't have to follow the EU directives for license progression may actually prefer to start on a 250/300cc rather than the less capable, and arguably unsafe, 125cc bikes.
Australia and new Zealand for example, their LAMS authorised learner bikes are up to 250cc/25Kw.
I think we need to employ that same thing for the UK markets, a 300cc/22-25hp limit for CBT riders.
For people such as myself (a shade over 16st) going uphill and stuff on a 4 stroke 125 is horrible.
Another issue is when you get some Sunday driver going from a 40 zone into a national speed limit zone and they barely speed up.
If you're top end is 60 and they're doing 45, you almost need a 5 mile run up to overtake them!
On something with just a little bit more poke, it would be so much easier and safer.
In the UK, there doesn't really seem to be much of a market for these 250-300cc range bikes either, especially given they are so under the hp threshold, especially when you can buy a bigger bike, restricted, for 1/4 of the price, then just unrestrict it when you pass your test and it's a full power bike that you are already 100% comfortable with.
It could have been at least 35hp and the insurance wouldn't have been any higher anyway.
Poo Face isn't 15hp over the 125cc licence though? I thought 14 was max.
I've got a CBF 125 (11hp) and for me it's has a fair bit of poke and gains speed relatively quickly but that is more likely due to my weight and hight, 5.4 and 6.5 stone, yes I'm incredibly light.
Ben climo you would be correct there, it's 14bhp max for provisional or Am licence. I actually agree that the 125cc as a learner legal bike is quite dangerous in places- it's not enough power for 40mph+ roads where even the smallest of cars have atleast 60/70bhp! Enough to make you shit yourself on a daily basis as you can't keep up with traffic flow! They are good for learning, and at this rate the UK is getting slower and slower on the roads now... Bristol is a prime example, if you wanna wear your gearbox out trying to stick to 20mph with speed cameras in- live here 😂😂
Simon Johnny
Just a little correction.
In Australia, our learner legal bikes go up to around 700c. The MT/FZ-07 for instance, is learner legal here. You still see a lot of 125s in cities because they're used by delivery riders and students commuting, but 250-500 is more common.
***** that's fine for those wanting a 2 stroke, I could buy an Aprilia RS125 and do nearly 100... But with how thrashed most of them are it's not viable for everyone plus not everyone likes sports bikes either... I just think it would be so much better and so much safer to have that little bit more power available for when you need it and it would also open the market up a lot as well.
If Suzuki can get a 300 to 400cc motor into this it's going to be well worth consideration. But with a 250cc it can't compete with the CBR250rr in Asia and it's no match for the Ninja 400 or Yamaha R3 everywhere else.
Cheaper and better mpg
What is the point in 250cc when 125 is basically the same, my little Gsx r125 will sit around 70
Nearly double the horsepower so faster acceleration, however yes many will want to go to a 400-500cc on the A2
Try ktm rc 125. You might like. If you do like to know your apinon.
Anthony wiseman 1 this I want to see I'm looking at getting one would love to see the review
iv got my 125cc venom up to 74 this is crazy under powered XD
NelskinHD - I got my Malaguti Olympique 50cc sports moped (clip on's twin pipes & race fairing ) back in the 70's close to your 125 venom speed , that doesn't make my moped good & just because this suzuki gsx250r won't do 90+ mph make it bad , i think this is borne out by the video.
Check oil 😣. Check engine oil level mate. Also is it oil cooled or liquid cooled? It had a range sensor..which is great...how many pounds is this .🤔
392 pounds
Why 250cc?
What are they buying in the east/south Asians countries? Is that not where Suzuki sells most of its bikes?
I"m betting Suzuki was more concerned about that than the A2.
But, hey, if people in the west buy it, maybe that will change. An SVVT version seems intriguing. Or...750 Katana (gasp!).
I think Suzuki should have designed OEM hard bags for this to set it apart from the other small bikes.
Is a DRZ 400 A2 legal with a restrictor?
+Brodie Hoyle it should be legal as is I believe well under the 48bhp limit. But I don't know what paper work you need
A DR-Z is A2 legal even without a restrictor
Brodie Hoyle Its leagal here in Australia on our lams bikes ( learner approved motorbike scheme)
But Spicy, what if I like squirting? 😉 Honestly it's not a bad lil bike! I think 250's should be the learner legal - I've always found the kawasaki klx 125 I had was waaaaaay underpowered and dangerous in places tbh! Since I got a 2010 bmw f800st restricted on the a2 about a week ago, been having sooo much fun and have almost done 500 miles easy! Guess I'm a sucker for the power 😉
The bike seems appropriate for a beginner. But at a price of £4300 it is a bit too much for what it is.
+Cold19 how can you say it's over priced when some 125cc bikes cost more?
Some. There are also some 300cc bikes that cost less. Like the Honda CBR300R at £4000. It's not that big a difference but £300 is still something. The Kawasaki Z250SL is £3650. If I were to get a 125cc I'd probably go for a Honda CB125F at £2800. The Suzuki GSX-R125 is at £4000. From what I've seen Suzuki's in general are overpriced. Yamaha too. I want to start riding on a 125 so I've been looking at prices recently. Out of all the japanese makes, Honda seems to be the most affordable. Or maybe I'm just poor.
Cold19 completely agree and I have a CBF 125 from 2012.
If you want to save a bit more money then I'd fully say to buy a used bike for 1k. Then save the spare money and when you upgrade spend it on that.
On 125s they don't really upgrade that much tbh with price increase. I'd say it's a bit of a waste of money buying a new 125.
To be honest, when the BMW G310R is just 150 more at £4,450, I would rather get one of those as a new rider, or a ninja 300 if you really need the sportbike styling.
Yeah, for a first bike it doesn't make sense to buy a brand new one.
If this was the 70s this would be a learner legal...🙃
I'm 18 , can I ride this bike safe ?
Not if you are in the uk. You need an A2 licence that you can't get till your 19.
its just a shame there is no learning on 250cc laws anymore personally i think intensive training doesn't teach you enough to ride safely but to pass a test its after you pass when you ride yourself where you learn the most e.g. handling speeds of roads having fun safely ect.the power of a 250 isnt that much greater that when you look at 125cc that can hit 90 too and the fact speed isnt built up too fast. hopefully after brexit there will be changes to the licencing system for motorcycles and cars that are more reasonable e.g. learning with a fully licenced pillion or l plates on 250cc as an example. adults don't need babying if they are taking risks to there life its up to them thats why we have age of maturity or age of an adult. You would like to think the financial decisions dictate whether a a teenager rides a high hp sportsbike or sticks with a low power learning bike insurance wise or using advanced rider courses to keep costs down but ofcorse the gov wants a slice of that cake money money money if they could they would charge people £20 to resit driving tests
You need to yamaha r3 that be good bike to go against this bike
Favorate word in this vid
"Squirting" lol
Should be decent on insurance. I'm 20 and a CBR500R at 47bhp is about £1.7k to insure fully comp. That's why even though you're allowed 47hp many choose a bike with less than 30hp at my age anyway. ☹️
very good point mate.
alistair tang 1.7k? For a bike? Must because it's new :s
Bryn Slowley more likely a combination of: his young age, his inexperience, the sporty model, fully comp is always a bit more, and yes, bike value, regional crime stats etc etc... you get the pic. Insurance is criminal for youngsters.
Rob S I'm only 24 and I've been riding for 3 years and I've never been quoted more than like 400 aha. Granted my bikes have always been 90's carbed warhorses and I live in Cornwall :P that price still seems mad though. My '92 CB750 is like 350 or something like that I think.
Bryn Slowley Nice! You're doing alright then mate, I'd say! The thing is it's so complicated as I said before there are so many factors to take in that can skew one person's quote over another. That's why it always pays to ring around until you almost want to cry.... it's always worth it!!
If only it was an inline 4 like those old Japanese 250s
I'm thinking about doing my A2 (new rider) what would be a good first bike for about £2000?
+monkeydust100 too many to pick from but big fav of many sv650
monkeydust100 The sv650 is a sweet bike but get one around the 2005 year as the earlier one doesnt look as nice also a Honda cbr500f is agreat beginners bike and cheapish!
It is made for south asian market.
It mainly for China market, and production in China, many south Asian country didn't sell it, due to con't fight with R3 and Ninja 250/300, CBR250RR
Me thinks you had plenty o fun on that ! and you can get a couple of cheese burgers under that seat np. Smashin the f*ck button :D 👍
Spicy, if you ever discover the secret to time travel, I can highly recommend the Kawasaki kr1s , 250cc two stroke with 50 odd horsepower. fair enough it would try to kill you almost daily, but you never feel so alive when your so close to death.
honestbob45 Ah a bike close to my heart as it was the first bike i ever got when i was younger! Ppl told me i was made but how could you not love that sound the smell and those racing green stripes in black and green....
Spicy the kinda guy to keep pics of ronnie coleman in his wallet
Interesting bike. But I'll still take my restricted SV650 over it. :D
+Michael Long I can see why but if your were commuting around the City that 90+ mpg is a big plus!
Oh yeah totally, especially down to how you ride aswell. Not afraid to admit that the way I ride my SV isn't exactly the most fuel efficient way, and I also understand that I'm currently in that "over confident" time in my riding.
So it's an Inzuma with a dress on with a higher price tag
+MidlandsRider91 well the engine is the same that's about it. This is a quality little machine no doubt!
never said it was not dude but the price tag seems a rip off for what it is if i was after a 250cc suzuki i get my self a low mile inzuma i be its not much slower if it is slower and you know it will be more comfterble ........... i might add i bet it looked like a push bike with you on it lmao
MidlandsRider91 Yeah and they are as ugly as fuck too! Id rather go slow in style then slow with no class!
Looks 100% better.
😪 250cc is too small and not nervous... Suzuki should make a 400-500 or 600 cc for A2 (47.5/35kw)...this is the ONLY beautiful and motorcycle who looks like super bike like gsxr 1000....
GSX 250R is for touring. And if ur looking for fast bike this is not it.. This bike isnt for racing... Thats why it has low hp and low cost. But very good riding position...
Get a GS500 for touring.
It's a tarted up commuter bike,nothing wrong with that if you know what you're getting.
A GS500 is indeed a smarter move (I'm a bit biased since I own one). If you want a 250cc touring-orianted bike, get the DL250 Vstrom
Change sprockets
Mary Brothers context? Sorry this was a while back.
spicy110 change the rear sprocket so its not working so hard!
The doughnut that decided to put the Suzuki sticker over the bolt though should be sacked though
RED WINDSOR!!!!!!!!
You for got to mention ABS
+Black Dragonrider given that every single bike made these days has to have abs or linked brakes is kind of a given now 🙂
I know but i don't like abs and some other riders haha
This bike really doesn't make much sense. It's less powerful and heavier than the R3.
Heavier is better for stability and its not just a starter bike. Some want it for a commuter.
