Suzuki GSX650F reviews

I am really impressed with this bike and it is the very first bike I have owned and will keep driving. Show less

I have had 20 different machines during my 62 years of age, but this bike is the jack of all trades. Go fast? Yes. 50MPG? Yes. Cruise all day long at any speed? Yes. Neat controls and digital read outs? Yes Yes Yes. If you're looking for an all around bike, this is it. Smooth cruise? yes yes yes. If you desire a litle bit of everything nice, give the GSX 650 F a ride. Show less

I just started riding a year ago, learned on a 250 nighthawk. I test rode everything from aprillas to yamahas and this was by far the best value for its comfort/performance ratio. It's not the flashiest sport bike on the market but a couple of aftermarket mods gives it a unique and head turning look. I commute to school 35 miles each way and it's a blast every morning, rock steady on the highway doing 80-85. Only gets a little unstable after about 110. The stock exhaust is a joke but a quik DIY install of any number of aftermarket exhausts turns that problem into a sweet sounding head turner. For the price, this is an amazing deal. Buy this Bike.

I bought this bike in June of 2008 in Florida. It was a no brainer. Even riding hard, I still pulled 40 mpg which helped a lot with gas at 3.90 a gal. Great feel. I rode from Fort Pierce to Lake Worth daily (weather permitting) which is about 60 miles one way. No lack of power, even at 75 miles an hour still have plenty of throttle to play with. Show less

I absolutely love this bike. I have always ridden Hondas. I have owned an 82 CB400E, 84 Gold Wing, an 88 Nighthawk, and a 94 CB1000. This 2008 GSX650F is my first Suzuki. I am sooo impressed with the way it starts, sounds, rides, everything. It is plenty of motorcycle. I was a bit nervous about going down to a 650cc, but with its light overall weight, fuel injection, and low center of gravity, this bike kicks butt!!! I put 7500 miles on it in my first year. Mostly commuting, but I also went on a 1200 mile, three day ride last summer. It was as comfortable to ride for 8 hours as it is for 20 minutes. It has a great sport tourer feel. I would recommend it to anyone. It isn't just a starter bike. It is a fun all arounder. Buy one! Show less

I have had my new bike for about 10 days. I commute to Hattiesburg from Biloxi daily; around 170 miles round trip. I have found the bike to be smooth, fast and comfortable. All of which are required for my satisfaction with a machine. The motorcycle design has features normally found only on high end Euro and Japanese Sport Tourers. Multiple trip meters, adjustable instrument lighting (a first for me in over twenty Street Bikes I have owned), 4-way headlight adjustment, flash to pass, adjustable shift light, etc. Suspension adjustments have proven easy and the bike is set up nicely after minimal tinkering. The initial oil change and required fairing removal went smoothly and furthered my impression of a well thought out design with the bike and rider coming first, a true rarity in a motorcycle of this price. I will be adding the optional center stand very soon. I have seen and ridden a great many motorcycles in my work and pleasure. My Suzuki GSXF650 takes its place among the best. It is what a motorcycle should be - fast, economical, easy to use and own and most of all, FUN! Show less

I have never been on a motorcycle before, and my friend got a new bike and it spiked my interest. Plus with fuel prices, I figured why not. My bike is getting around 50mpg, and my diesel truck was 13mpg. So it was a no brainer. The bike has great power and is about 100 pounds heavier than the GSX-R750. But don't let that scare you. It handles light. This is the ultimate beginner bike! I never dreamed I would like riding a motorcycle this much! I may decide to get a GSX-R750 in the future, but until I get more miles under my belt, this is plenty fast enough. This bike tops out around 140mph, which is not a superbike, but it gets to 140 in a HURRY! I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone who is just starting out or someone who is looking for a fun bike! Show less

All in all it is an excellent bike with plenty of power across all rpms. It is very comfortable, although I will probably install different handlebar grips. I think they're a little too thin, as my hands go numb on longer trips. I have owned many bikes over the last 30 years, and for the money this is the best one yet. For the last 10 years I have ridden V-Twin cruisers. After riding this, I will never go back to one of them again. I'd forgotten how much fun an in-line 4 cylinder bike is. Show less

I am very pleased with this bike; it has been 15 years since I had a motorcycle. My heart was on a SV1000S but I didn't like the way the bike felt. I was at the dealer and sat on this bike and fell in love. Fuel injection gives the bike good smooth power, it has great brakes and is very well balanced. I felt like I never took a break from riding. It is a superb bike. Show less
