Thumbs up Suzuki Invader Test Ride

Today I had a new experience when I borrowed a 2009 Suzuki Invader 1800 VZR from my dealers Redcars at Leicester. I have wanted to try one of these for some time. I know Harley owners will not like this but these Invaders are a far better engineered bike than the Harleys. The last Harley I rode the clutch cover fell off.
The torque from the 1800 motor is incredable. With only 5,000 revs on the clock the bike is doing 110 mph (on a private road). I had to run steady anyway as the bike had brand new tyres on.
This bike is a 2009 reg with only 7,500 miles on the clock and they only want £7499.
Must admit I was very tempted but do not have room in the garage.

Nice looking machine but all these new bikes are spoilt by the number plate arrangement
