Rider magazine said about this bike, “If you’ve ridden one of the GSX-Rs before, you’ll feel the GSX’s extra 100-plus pounds when changing direction quickly; if not, you’re none the wiser and just forget we mentioned it here!”.

I actually went to the dealership intent on buying a Wee Strom for my freeway commutercycle / week-end adventurer, but having sat on them both, the GSX650F just felt more comfortable. I’m getting ~52 m.p.g. on my mostly freeway commute.
Like I said, I wouldn’t recommend it as a beginner bike either, even though it’s described as an “entry level” sport bike.
