Hi all!

Well you know what it's like when you have had a particular bike and you really loved it for its versatility, usability and ease of maintenance etc., well I fondly remember feeling very contented with my 2010 Suzuki GSX1250FA which I bought in mint condition with only 7000 miles on in 2022.


I posted on here when I got Fanny as she was christened and she was cruelly taken away from my wife and I in a serious accident back in August 2023.


Now we are feeling fit enough and living with the aftermath of our injuries and have managed quite well on my CB1100RS and Z900RS I felt the itch to fill the touring element that we missed on the GSX. You know the score you keep looking at ads for the bike you loved so much in the past!!! I've been trying to find something just as good as Fanny which really was in excellent condition but these big Suzuki's tend to get used in all weathers which means in the UK salty winters and finding a good one was like the needle in the haystack. Short of finding something that had been kept in a museum from new I had all but given up. But the stars aligned for me and I managed to find the one and she was delivered earlier in the week. So I introduce to you Florence. 2013 model, 13k miles and in probably better condition than her predecessor.

As I removed all the touring kit off my last one it will be going on Florence for the coming summer season!

Stay safe folks and have a great Christmas.

Congratulations and I am pleased to see you have not been put off by the accident. What a beautiful bike and lovely colour. I know you'll have many kilometers of fun on it.
