Compare MSRP
GSXS - $8499 - 35k
CBR - $9699 - 40k

Wait just 35k?? Back then the gsx was 54k.
Damm

Compare MSRP
GSXS - $8499 - 35k
CBR - $9699 - 40k (here is $46k)
MT09 - $9399 - 39k (here is $54k)
Z900 - $9099 - 38k (here is $48k)

some models are sold more expensive than others...

mt09 bugface launch basic price where got rm54k?

haha, of course not

Yeah, that's why the GSXS750 is sold out in many places. New stock only arriving at month end (told by eang chun).

No joke. 40k is a bargain for a new bike with that spec. (In Malaysia)
I want In-line 4 bike. And cb650r was on my top list.
Since kawa basically dead now.
Now gsx s750 show up.

Kawa has a power gap in the middle range roadbike series, and it's always that twin 650cc engine since long time ago.

MT07 is the new benchmark, then a powerful triple MT09 or Triumph.

Honda seeing success with 650cc 4 cylinder and selling like hot cakes.
Triple engines also have good success.

Suzuki SV and the 750 is very overlapping to compete with all these, so is a smart move for Kawa Malaysia to revive Suzuki brand in Malaysia.

If I waited, I could have gotten the GSXS. But tak pe lah, I got my bike earlier in the year and managed some nice rides with my buddies. At least now that I know Suzuki no longer selling the SV650X, I can rest assured that mine is a limited edition model

Almost jump gun for this bike too... very sui des.

haya busat....??

Tested out my new Black Hammer boots with 3cm insoles. Almost flat footed on my new 15mm lowered Suzuki V-Strom 650XT.

Ultimate, will get the lower seat from Suzuki Hatyai. 3600 Baht (RM470)

Very good. Even the forefoot looks to have better reach to the floor.

How did you lower your V-strom by 15mm? New suspension links?

I measured the distance from center hole to center hole of the ori link which gave me 140mm and 155mm from the lowering link (dog bone) which installed by the shop.

How much did the shop charge you for these links? Were you given a choice of link lengths?

The shop I went to did mention this option, but I had no idea how much ground clearance I would be sacrificing. I was thinking to take it to a seat shop to have it modified and reshaped into a lower seat instead - cheaper than the Suzuki item & tailored for the shape of my arse with full customization options.

The shop charged me RM200 for the lowering links. I did not ask about sizes. I told the shop that I must tip toe or else I would not buy. So far, I am happy with it. My bike's ground clearance now is 150mm. (Stock 170mm).

Later I may remove the 4 pcs of rubber seat cushions under the seat and replaced with thin rubber strips to get it even lower.

Or cut half of its height
