Dream machines - Passion GSX600F
This bike is nice, but really not very exciting ...
Driving experience:
Engine: Not one of my favourites. Delivers reasonably well in the middle range (5 - 8000 rpm), but lacks the punch when approaching the rew limiter ...
Chassis: Performs well, but I wonder if this would be the case with increased power ?
Suspension and brakes: I found suspension a bit soft, but didn't have the time or the inclination to try to correct this. Front brakes are OK, but rear locks up too fast (just maybe I was pushing ?) ...
Driving: For me this was quite a comfortable ride. OK the foot rests are mounted high, but still I could ride for hours at a time with no stress ... I really missed a digital watch ...
General specifications:
80HP (10500 rpm)
37,4 Nm (4200 rpm)
200 kg
Top speed 215 Km/h
Ground clearance is great
Cheap (buy and own)
