I cancelled my Honda Hornet SP1000 order, mainly due to the cost of insurance, which was quoted at £900 from BikeSure. No one else would quote. I then looked at the Suzuki and pleasantly surprised, so may go for GSX-S1000 instead.
The real incentive is 0% finance as I was going to pay all of the Honda price, but this is even more attractive.
Fact below from the Suzuki website:
STREET TUNED PERFORMANCE
The high-performance 999cc four-stroke DOHC liquid-cooled inline-four engine that powers the GSX-S1000 inherits true winning superbike DNA. This street-tuned engine is based on core architecture that benefits from know-how acquired over decades of developing the GSX-R1000 to win countless production race victories, while also incorporating advanced technologies developed for MotoGP racing.
RAZOR SHARP LOOKS
Minimalist cowling with upsweeping sharp lines surrounds stacked hexagonal LED headlights to form the compact face of a radical new design. These sharp lines continue their upward trajectory across the contrasting bulk of a massive fuel tank, heightening the sense of well-sculpted athleticism and muscular strength. It’s the aggressive stance of a thoroughbred street fighter that exudes performance potential, while also reflecting an attention to detail focused on delivering a superlative riding experience.
