What did you do to your motorcycle today?

Took a run on a GSXS1000F at the weekend there and been thinking about it ever since. I felt that it was better suited to me than the Tiger 1050 I just bought. Although I’m still going to stick with the Tiger for a bit.

The Suzuki was sublime... comfortable, fast, responsive. Just not ideal for a pillion or top box

What height are you @Lee ?

5ft 8. I am on my tip toes on the Tiger, not overly bothered by that, could lower it if it really annoyed me.

I had just never taken a run on a sporty litre bike, I liked how it shifted down the road. And it fitted me well

Not me so much but a Pepsi RGV Suzuki went past my house about 15mins ago and it was stunning!!

My mate a few doors down has one, may have been him. Was rebuilding brakes last time I checked though. Unreal wee thing, I’d love one!

rossi helmet I think? It looked to be immaculate, he was taking it easy.

Sounds about right, will ask him when I see him. Only bought one again recently after owning one years ago when he first passed his test.

Few pics of my project I bought a few months ago in a very rough state lol I've done a full nut and bolt resto on it anything I haven't replaced I've refurbished. Was a 125 it's now 180 with the malossi big bore kit. I'm just waiting on my fairings coming back from fiberglass guy then off to paint

50 mph average is good going too depending on the roads!

Lots of single lane roads with passing points, hundreds if not thousands of campers which pulled over as soon as they spotted us, some of the tightest hairpins and sharpest bends I’ve ridden around and lots of average speed cameras before Glasgow and after Inverness, but we done what we had to do to make good progress... 😇

03 Hornet with 9k Miles. Very clean example and don’t think I could have got any better for my budget and completely unmolested. Was actually surprised when I saw it because the ad wasn’t great and if I wasn’t so local I wouldn’t have taken the time to look!
