Suzuki GSXR750 K6-7 vs Suzuki Daytona 675

[Balky001]

if you can stretch to a K6 750 then you'll benefit from slipper clutch and stunning brakes and suspension. A PCIII added will get 132 at the rear wheel and a 10hp rise on 60% throttle - it's a great mod and probably the only one you need.

My mate has a K7 1000 with 186 @ rear wheel and my 750 stayed with it to 130 on Revetts Straight. 750 was better round the corners of course!

I found the 675 horrible to lean as I felt perched high, but the engine is sweet. My mate swears by his 675 though and is racing it this year so horses for course.

What is Neil riding round the ring these days - last year he had the K6 750 and said it was the best bike he had been on round the Ring and he's done a few laps

He's now on a K4 GSXR 1000 after selling the 750 at 40k miles (60+k kms). He went for the thou as it was tricky keeping ahead of clients bikes on the 750 on the motorrad courses! Plus the 750 had some miles on it.....

It wil be a k6 or K7 750, or 05/06 675 looking at prices in Holland.

bit off topic but I did the motorrad course last year with him in fast group, he was quick next to some of the other instructors (the woman on the 10 year old CBR600 could do with a new bike!)

Most reviews would say a 750 would have a 1000 on a short circuit but the Ring is CBR1000 territory! Go 750!

Planning on doing a course next year, need to perfect some of my corners

Who are you actually talking about?

Infact a search of another list and from the horses mouth so to speak:

A good insight there, considering I'll be going for a 2nd hand bike with a view to putting 30k+ miles on it, this pushes things the Jap's way I'm afraid.

I've not had any problems with mine. Nor as far as I know has Luke or monkey on here.

Indicated mate...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedometer Look at Error.

Most 600's are geared for about 175MPH at the limiter but they dont have the power to get much past 160... With a head wind they wont even see this. Ofcourse the speedo may read more.

E.G. A modern Busa reads 200MPH but cant physically crack 186 because of the limiter.

How many miles you done though?
