    Indicator lens replaced, I charged his battery all night and refitted it this morning, it is well and truly shot. I did take it for a quick run around the block... hello old friend.. I missed you

    I just love the Across. They are quick, corner well, have a nice note and the boot is just awesome.

    Yes they are a little thirsty with a small tank, but I don't know too many people who have owned one say bad word against them other than the milage.

    I'm looking forwards to enjoy the storage compartment, should be sweet for groceries run every now and then. how far do they go before hitting the reserve and how far more can they go after hitting it?

    thanks Chris. Do they feel bent? I wonder how they fix bent forks other than replacing it with a new set.

    thanks

    I am a fan of the Across also, something about them just stands out. Chris and I have spoken about the ultimate Suzuki Across, it would be fuel injected, have 14 t0 15l tank and twin disc on the front. That's not bad for starters :thumb_ups:

    Looks purple to me mate. Only just picked it up two days ago. If you saw it on gumtree then this is it. I think the ads might still be up

    I'm seriously considering getting one, I've seen Afew advertised around the $2000 mark and it seem like a reliable bike with all the power I'll need until I get my full licence, if I get one I hope I don't cop sh*t about the boot hahaha

    Anthony, they are a very quick little bike, and handle very very well. A little heavier than most 250s due to the steel frame, and reliable yes.
