So undecided for my bike.

Im leaning more towards GSX 650F at the moment. It just feels more solid that the other 2 for some reason. Also a much more comfy seat.

Will be used for commuting, motorway use and for getting a good start from cars at red lights.

Any GSX 650F riders around these forums?

Comments welcome.
 
Thanks for all your opinions so far :)

I got a test ride booked for wed afternoon on a bandit 650, which is the same bike as the GSX but witout the fairings.

I test rode an '08 ER6F last week for 2 hours and my cousin owns an SV650S, so i've rode that a few times.

I have to say that both the SV650 and the ER6F are very similar bikes for weight and handling. Its just the rider position thats different.

Am I right in thinking that the GSX650F will get away from hot hatches at lights. I know its not as torquey as the other 2.

Thanks.
 
Thanks for all your input which has been well received :)

I settled on and ordered a GSX 650F. My main factor was, it was the most comfy for me and felt very stable on the motorways i commute on. I know its based on old tech, but its well refined and robust. I just didn't feel right on the slightly smaller, lighter bikes.

I they just felt like they'd be labouring if i decided to ride to france. But they were all great fun to try out :)

It will take 2-3 weeks to take delivery.
