there . When I was a young boy-racer , I used to take my WRX to trackdays ( yes , cars ...). I enjoyed my time blasting around some of NZ ’ s best race tracks . Since I sold that car ( something I regret every day ) I ’ ve never been back on track - in a car or on a bike . I ’ ve been pestered by my bike mates to go and ride on-track for a few years now , but it ’ s not really been something that was high on my priority list . This GSX- 8S is really lighting my fire though , enough to possibly get out there on track and see what it does in a completely unrestricted environment . The problem is , this seems an awful lot like a gateway drug , and I already have enough hobbies . In my time with the GSX-8S , I have established it is a very capable commuter . I ’ m finding out quickly it ’ s a rather enjoyable ( if not particularly comfortable ) day-tripper . This bike is shaping up to be a contender as one bike to rule them all . Soon I will be attempting a multi-day ride . then I guess ... maybe off to a race track ? I ’ ll be sure to let you know how we go .
