Which GSXR - 600 or 750?

Tricky isn't it?


Anyone that claims that the 600 isn't fast enough is probably lying,

So,so true,if you can ride a ss600 more or less to its limits(forget m/ways,i mean country twisties)then you will keep up/beat any so called bigger bike.

I know i want a faster bike, as sometimes the SV just doesnt cut it even at full power.

Couple of problems i am facing is:

Licence is 33 bhp till sept (so i would have to restrict it)
i would have to find at least £1200-1500 from somewhere.
I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!

I am sure after reading what everyone has said that i want the 750, as it is what i have wanted for a while, but 600s just keep popping up.

I would wait until your restriction is up - I wouldn't like to be stuck on either limited to 33bhp

For that reason alone. wait!

since owning my 600 ive never wanted anything else it does 110 in second, goes like a scalded cat and tops out at about 160ish an added bonus is its less road tax than a sv650
i'm the kind of person that never keeps my bikes/cars long because i get bored quickly but ive never ever thought about selling little gixer since i brought her

i ilke your attitude, thats the same one that bought me the SV.

streetbike gave me my gsxr600 for an hour to see if i wanted to buy it i did about 5 miles lol took it back and handed over the dosh

Ride 'em both, on roads where the SV doesnt do it for you, then you'll have more idea. I went from an old ZX-6R to my 750 and sometimes I really miss the upper reaches of the revs as its just too fast on the 750.

Having said that, I recently had a go on a 2007 ZX-6R and it felt a bit weedy (I'm not saying it felt slow though!!).

So to sum up - when one is in the mood to thrash then a 600 is 'more thrashable'. For the rest of the time the 750 is better. And I'm sure a better rider than me could happily thrash the seven fiddy. If I had the choice again...I'd pick the 750 again.
