Like FNL said, they were VERY vague and never inspired any confidence. Of course getting off a GSXR and throwing a leg over this type of bike will skew your impression somewhat.

Here's a question. Is it pronounced "goo-Zee" or "goot-Zee"

nice body styling and frame, but that engine and swingarm completely destroy any good looks the bike might have had otherwise.

And shaft drive too...
