When I was shopping for a new bike two years ago, I initially wanted a Harley V-Rod (V-2 1130ccm, 117 horsepower, 14 liter tank). In Switzerland, the list price was CHF 29,950.-

I then found the Suzuki GSX 1400 (I-4 1403ccm, 106 horsepower, 22 liter tank). List price: CHF 13,990.-

The Suzuki could carry 50% more fuel (giving me 50% more range between tank stops), and cost one-half of the price of a V-Rod.

I still think the V-Rod is a great looking machine ... but I am very happy with my Suzuki!
