First ride on a gixxer 750?
Got it insured this morning and although it was raining I couldn't help myself so I took it out for a spin. My god it is mental.
Position is very weird compared to the Sv. It's easy to handle power delivery is weird and is def gonna take a bit of getting used to. Overtaking is a doddle. Had a bit of a hairy moment, Fishtailed at 70 on a straight. Too wet today though couldn't see anything out of my visor. Just looking forward to a dry day. Might actually make it to fifth gear then.

Got myself one last thursday. K5. From a K5 naked SV650 was perhaps a little mental, but bloody hell its fun. Just need to give it a real good stretch now...

Re: First ride on a gixxer 750?
Keep us posted - Im just back to biking after an almost 10 year absence but Im already feeling the limitations of the SV (lolsuspension) and have been eyeing up the gsx750 as a possible upgrade so would be intrigued by your findings.

Thats where I found mine caught me out a few times. Remember I said before about how much more reponsive the throttle is and that it took time to get used to it. Thats why  If anybody is interested heres the write up I did when I first got my 750. I dont know if its useful or not http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=68792
