My First Suzuki (GSX1250FA)
Leon Vee Sun 03 Jun 2012, 4:18 pm
Hi All,
Hadn't ridden for a good 18 years. Needed to go through the whole getting licensed deal again. Been riding a Ninja 650RL for the past year and bought myself a new 2012 GSX1250FA yesterday.
The reviews on the bike were good and it fits right in the sweet spot for my liking.
Test ride was good, looks were good (except for poor quality on a weld on the frame) and it didn't take the dealer much to twist my arm.
Looking forward to picking it up sometime this week
I was really happy to find this forum.

Welcome to the site and Bandits.
It wont be the only time you wonder at Suzuki's quality control.
Bang for bucks is one thing they got right.

Welcome Leon Vee. It's a top forum and heaps of good info. And yet another Queenslander onboard 
And yes, the weather has been absolute shit lately. 
I blame Victorians, they move up here and bring their weather with em
