Had my new Glee for a week now. 400 miles (200 with pillion). Absolutely loving it. First impressions is that it fuels beautifully, comfortable for one or two and the steering is really predictable with plenty of grip from the tyres. The riding position is commanding and helps in traffic no end.I have come from 2 years on a Blackbird so it's a real change of bike for me. I cannot comment on the power of the Suzuki yet as I'm still running in but as my riding matures (finally
) I find I'm more interested in accuracy and smoothness than chasing outright speed, and I think the Strom is going to help that develop. I'm a year round rider and I was always mindful of the Blackbirds power during the wetter/slippier months.
And I love the way you can flick the Strom with its wide bars, that really is a revelation after the Honda which was a case of hauling from side to side. Don't get me wrong the Honda was a great bike but a bit of a one trick pony. I'm already finding the Suzuki more 'engaging' to ride.
Excuse the gushings of new owner but I'm really pleased with my choice of new bike and wanted to share.
