I'am now the proud owner of a K5 GSXR 750 colour blue & black. If i knew how to get a picture up i would do that, but i don't so i won't. I bought it from Cupar motorcycles in Fife, pe-reg to them 1k off book price.

ridden all the latest, prefer the zx6r for sure and not being biased, preferred it to the zx10 too, but the zx10 engine is awesome

I was gonna say the ZX636... It's a nice bike, but 'they' (whoever they are,) reckon the Gixxer 750 is the best of all (for a sports bike

)

Good choice IMO.... You don't need all that power from the modern litre class machines, but I always found myself wanting a bit more torque from the Gixer 6, and something not quite so frantic too....

The GSXR750 (K4/5) really does fill that spot nicely. Just wish the position didn't hurt my back so much..... Hope you have many happy hours, I know I did on my 600...

I wasn't very impressed by the Daytona 650, though I thought I would be... The new 636 is one of the best looking bikes I've ever come across, and none of the others really inspire me, so if it were me I'd look at one of those, and if it didn't work out get something entirely different.

To be fair, I think that GSX-R 750 does look the part too, and will fill a nice little niche

According to my info on the web, it is too tall for me, but I may be able to grow a little or get some platform Sidis :P

I also quite like the looks of that new Triple Daytona or whatever it will be called.

It's a bit tall for me as well,can get both feet down on the balls of the foot. When covering the brake can get left foot almost flat. My inside leg is about 30 ins.
