I have found that some people tend to think that because I race motorcycles I am a total speed-crazed adrenaline junkie always looking to run off with the neighbor's daughter. While the latter may be true and it may not be a bad idea to keep the daughters locked up, I actually do enjoy a restrained leisurely ride on a motorcycle that is composed at street speeds and not excruciating on the body. In fact I found that the GSX650F was really starting to grow on me over the two weeks. Constant commuting in the rain had me quite happy that I was riding a motorcycle with a mild temperament and a chassis I could trust.
 While the limits of the GSX650F's capabilities can be reached quite easily by an experienced rider I was not turned off by the Suzuki. Instead, I grew to appreciate the many qualities the GSX650F possesses. This is no one-trick pony, in fact it's an extremely versatile motorcycle. Whether you are into sport riding, touring or everyday commuting the GSX650F has the ability to do it all. At an MSRP of $6.999.00 this will surely be an attractive option for the budget conscious rider or someone looking for that first bike that gets it all started.
