I have also wondered how the bike would be without tires, you know just rims. The feeling of aluminum on asphalt, think of the money saved on tires.
Steering Damper's do rattle at low speed on uneven ground, and those tires stinking and clouding up the air. Why dose Suzuki do this to us, surely just to drive up the price.
Sure glad to see Kawasaki didn't waste their time and money on swingarm braceing(now thats progress), when will Suzuki learn?
