As a former GSR owner i will tell you this, GET IT! As long long as you keep up on maintenance (oil change, belt change, etc.) i will last you 3yrs. easy, granted if you dont rag the piss out of it on a daily basis. just whatever you do, get NGK for your spark plugs, Castrol for engine and gear oil,Prestone for your coolant, as for tires i use to run kuhmo in front and cooper in back but thats up to you. and if you can: use Shell premium (if only gas was cheaper....)
