Well after taking delivery of my new 650 XT, I can say without hesitation that it's the best bike I've ridden ever in over 30 years of riding. I've had a Honda CBF1000 for past 5 years but wow this Suzuki is smooth, sleek and so great to ride. I'm currently 'running-in' the engine so I'm careful with the revs ATM. Anyway I love this bike and I'm so glad I bought it, my first ever Suzuki :-)
