Hey All. Anyone ever owned or ridden one? I'd like to keep my SR close to original, sans the supertrapp pipe, but I do like the cafe style too and have been thinking about the SRX as an alternative. Any experience, thoughts or feedback would be welcome.

Hi There Videovoide,
I have owned an SRX600 for three years now, and I love riding it. I also have a 1980 SR500, they are totaly different to ride.
If you are taller than 5'10" you may find the SRX a bit cramped to ride. It goes a bit harder than the SR and is very smooth compared to the SR. It has a ballance shaft in the engine, so doesn't have the same 'Big vibration' as the SR, and the gear box is super smooth not clunky like the SR. I have had the SR from new, and whenever I ride it, it's like wearing an old comfortable suit, it just comes narturaly, but then so does the SRX in a totaly different way...
There are a couple of us members on this forum that have SRX's, so you should get some feedback.
Make sure you get a ride of one, to see if you like it, there are not many about.
Good luck.
Cheers, Mikec.

Thanks Mike. Great comments. Convincing.
The brain does have two sides.

No Problem,
Where do you hail from?
I think it is the look of the SRX that realy got me!
But I do enjoy riding it.
Cheers, Mikec.
