It's clone of Suzuki's recently launched GSX-S1000 naked bike, that includes associate engine supported that of Hamamatsu's stonking 2005-2008 series GSX-R1000, with the sole distinction being a full fairing, screen and a couple of tweaks to the suspension internals.
And riding it here round the islet of Man's legendary TT course, i could not think about the rest i might preferably be riding. The handling is sportsbike precise; correct and composed, whereas the re-worked 145bhp GSX-R1000 engine provides lashings of long-stroke midrange ideal for blasting out of corners.
Yet all the whereas, the upright riding position, flat bars and full fairing provided Pine Tree State with journey bike levels of comfort and wind protection. there is even Suzuki's simple-but-effective three-stage traction management mutely looking on behalf of me within the background.
Venturing off the TT course and on to a number of the Island's seriously unsmooth back roads highlighted a niggle with the throttle response; the GSX-SF features a terribly immediate develop off a closed throttle that is ok once you are on dry, swish roads and giving it laborious gas. However, on a particularly unsmooth road and combined with the GSX-SF's fairly firm suspension, the snappy throttle response makes it seriously laborious to be swish, and you finish up with a touch of a bronco see-saw result.
The bike's sensible fun and that i was seriously affected by however laborious you'll ride it while not it losing calm, and additionally by however light-weight, accessible and simple to manoeuvre at low speed it's too.
Starting at £9999, it is a thousand pounds cheaper than Suzuki's flagship GSX-R1000, however on the road you would not miss the superbike's forty some further bhp, and also the superbike does not have the additional safety advantages of the GSX-SF's traction management, either.
