Picked up a 2016 GSX-S1000F today and got her home in the van and settled down with a bowl of warm milk in the shed. Sorry about the crap photo, no light!

Got Suzi insured and taxed and took her out for a run yesterday evening. First run on a 1000cc 4 cylinder. A Hamamatsu Brain Massage. I know it's 'only' 145 bhp - pretty tame compared to modern 220bhp superbikes - but holy god it moves when you give it a poke. I need the restraint not to ride like an asshole at every opportunity.
Talking of insurance, do you know how much it cost to insure this thing for a year?
£111
I thought it was a misprint. Nope. Performance Direct. Cheaper than the road tax (£116)! Some benefits to being ancient, I suppose!
