BEST BIKE OF IT'S SEGMENT
I bought the GSR-8X about 4 months ago , mainly because I wanted a sportbike that could handle both daily commute and weekend trips . After test riding other bikes in this range , I felt that the Suzuki GSR-8X is the best , not too aggressive but definitely powerful enough to put a smile on my face every ride

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.

KAWASAKI NINJA Z1100
Very good looking, 1100cc, beast performance, perfect seating position, i hit 200kmph easily on this beast, so good comfort and in thinking about changeing silencer to increase the power and performance. Don't expect mileage from this bike because this is not mileage bike. This is built for performance and comfortable ride, so far so good this bike and it's breaking system is absolutely perfect. Overall amazing bike. Yes, of course I recommend this bike , as far as they can afford it. But one final thing that is if you really need a high performance, good comfort and look attractive and 1100 cc capacity, you can buy this beast.
