$400 extra for a bike that has not been molested sounds like a better choice.

I prefer the Honda out of the box, I would only consider the Suzuki over it if you have the budget for suspension work fairly soon after purchase.

I would go with The Suzuki. See if they will throw in some free gear or something.

Honda.

Suzuki is slow and no torque. Pulls like a 14 year old.

Dang ! Those are some good prices.. In CA (Silicon Valley - Bay Area) we get hosed due to the high cost of living because of all the tech companies in the area that are to blame IMHO.

OP - You have to ask yourself if you want a VW or a BMW for around the same price. The Honda is a much better bike if you're comparing pricing within a few $100's.. "Why cheat yourself when you can treat yourself".

These guys charge Tax, and about $110 in doc and title fees.
