Yeah, I have my eyes set on a GSX1250FA, I think Suzuki just brought it to the states last year - but it has that standard style that I like. But, this bike was in much better shape than I expected, So I think it will last me quite a while. Maybe Ill be able to finally pay off some student loans....
