Nice Bike!!! but not the prices. Since when has a bike been as expensive as a small car? I love bikes but will never pay for one as long as the prices are insane. There are millions of people like me out here and we should stop buying bikes till the greedy bike co.'s excutives come to their senses. Now they are paying for it.Suzuki first debuted the GSX1250FA last year at the Bol D’or 24 Hour endurance race in France. At the time it wasn’t clear if the Japanese firm would bring the 2010 model to the States. Then Suzuki simplified things: They wouldn’t bring any 2010 street bikes to the U.S.! Suzuki seems committed to 2011 being a renewal for the brand. Perhaps the new 1250 will contribute to a reversal of fortune.The new GSX1250FA seems to fit into the supersport-touring niche, lining up with rides like the VFR1200F or the new Ninja 1000. Sportbikes that can tour, not purpose-built touring rigs like the FJR and Concours 14. Then again, we’ll have to ride one first to get at its true nature. Stay tuned for our future evaluation.
