Personally, it sounds overweight and under powered. Why couldn't they add about 15 more horsepower and lose about 75 lbs weight and keep the "more comfortable" ergonomics. Then you have an interesting motorcycle that's not a pain to ride and won't get you embarrassed in the twisties.

"Bland" is not something I look for in a motorcycle.

+1 it looks pretty good but i like the look of the katana ALOT better, and 15 more HP wouldnt hurt anybody

I like the looks.... just don't want an underpowered, overweight bike. Already got one ('88 Kat), but that's because it was designed in the '80s, not 2006.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Kat.

agreed .... BTW, what does YMMV mean ?

YMMV = your mileage may vary:mrgreen:

Obviously you havent ridden the gsf 650 yet.

Nope, just going by the magazine articles and specs I have read. YMMV:mrgreen:
