Riding the GSXR is a completely different riding experience. Sharper brakes, sharper steering. I havent ridden a 600 but if it handles anything like my 750 does and from what I've read it ought to. It should be a hoot to ride.

It'll take some getting used to. The turn in on bends is much faster. Also the suspension copes with bumpy road surfaces much much better than the SV does. Only thing you'll find is that because it makes its power higher up the RPM range you'll need to rev it harder than you do your SV. Also the engine braking will be less. But you will still have some.

Go and take a test ride and see if you like it or not. It took a little time for me to get used to riding the IL4 after the Twin.
