True. An upgrade would consist of more cylinders ;)

GSXR 750 - in this colour, seen it in the flesh and it is the dogs do-dahs!!!! Picture doesn't really do it justice.

Let me have the thou Kwak!

Re: fireblade or gsxr1000k7
 

The thing that always strikes me when I read about the thous in magazines, is that the GSXR always seems to come out top when only road-riding is considered. If I was a mile-munching sportsbike maniac, I'd have the GSXR1000. I've always also noticed how suzuki's have the least extreme (by that I mean racey) riding postion; its where you want to be, hunched over, but its not completly bum up head down alll the time.

But for looks, I'd have an R1. Had a good look at the new fireblade a few weeks back......what a dog. Looks like someone took the old one and rode it into a wall, liked how the nose went flat and said "we'll polish that up and sell it as the new blade. Job done"

I want it - but can't afford it?

Re: fireblade or gsxr1000k7
 

I cant think of a better road bike than the one I have. For a track there are better I dont deny. Some of these may have some more cylinders. :rolleyes:

Re: fireblade or gsxr1000k7
 

your mind is made up then?:p

Re: fireblade or gsxr1000k7
 

me thinks so :) new blade is 9k and i cant spend that much :( cant find any old stock of blades either.

Re: fireblade or gsxr1000k7
 

Go for an 06 over the 08. Youll save some money and they look better. Only reason to get a 08 is for the power switch... and imo thats pointless as you dont ride in the wet right?
