Guess I'm the only one that got excited about the GSX650F? I see they already screwed up the graphics on the '09

You had an '08? The GSX650F has only been in the country since Nov of '07 and is basically a European Bandit.

Steve, I should have known you were going to go crazy over this one. I wish I would have bought the SF instead of the SV...much more comfortable. I used to think if you weren't hunched over the tank, you weren't on a bike. A few long rides later, I changed my mind. lol

I made the mistake of riding an FJR1300 last summer and ever since then have been wanting another EFI Inline 4 cylinder....the rest is history.

You can also replace your clipons with a stock 03 sv handlebars and call it a day. I replaced my clipons on my 07 sv1ks with a 03 sv handlebars and tag risers for little bit over $100 bucks and comfortable for long rides.

I have those Convertibars on my 07 sv650s and they really work. They are pricey but worth every penny. Next I'll upgrade the seat so I can ride all day without pain.

I spent the extra money on longer cables cause you get another 3+ inches of vertical height.

First time I've seen the hard bags for the 650F. Are those Bandit bags?

They will fit the Bandit, the Givi Tubular Sidecase Racks PL539 (Suzuki GSF1250S Bandit, '07- & GSX650F, '08-) fits both the Bandit and GSX650F...so if you want to call them Bandit Bags I guess you can?

The PL539 Sidecase Racks accept any of the Givi Monokey Sidecases, like the E21 [21 Liters] on the left or the larger E360 [36 Liters] cases on the right.
