I recently bought suzuki gsx
I recently bought suzuki gsx 8r , Brakes are brilliant with 14 ltrs tank and 810 mm seat height makes it a good perfomance bike. Came along with quick shifter it's a little stiff but motor is extremely define. It's like a autombot transformer. Acceleration is intense like it unleashes itself and blue color is eye cathing.
