[Paul the 6th]

After the abject disappointment of the k1 gsxr 750's engine seizing on its maiden voyage at the start of march, and then York Suzuki making the situation a lot worse by dismantling it & announcing it was too big a job for them before simply handing it back; I've taken the whole thing as a sign it's time to try something new.

The brief: must match or be better than the 750 in terms of power & handling. Looking around it seemed the only way is up so without gettin onto 'propper 1000s' the 954 blade seems to have rave reviews about handling, power, finish & reliability.

Anyone owned one? Ridden one? Know someone who has? What they like? The older r1's don't seem to be doing it for me, ninja's seem to ridden by nutters & Suzuki can phuck off.

Thanks in advance as always xxx
