GSXR750. My dad has one, he says its the best bike he;s ever had. He had a 600 before (GSXR600) and said the extra power and torque makes the 750 a bit less focused for riding; its a bit easier to pootle about on. Comfy as anything (he tours on it) and reliable as everything.

don't know about the stats or ride, but from looks alone I prefer the R6 ! Why you buying from D n K, wouldnt you be better buying private? I dont like them, have you seen the prices they are selling sv's at!!

Rather appropriate really Quiff. As you do ride like an old granny.....

750 mate. The Yam is far too focussed. A friend of ours got his 750 brand new from DK's. Apart from having to remove the reflectors on the forks he was well happy.

You'll be a riding God on one of those.

You can get a black one...my dads is black, and he painted the wheels a dull gold colour, looks flippin' brilliant

Goes like stink too. 3rd gear wheelies on the throttle sir? very well, open her up!

The only let down on the suzuki is the quality of paint; my dad found that his tailpack wore the laquer through on the tailpeice, so he had to repaint it and put on an extra thick coat of laquer. The yamaha might also suffer from thin laquer / paint, but you'll have to ask other owners about this.

The GSXR is also quite loud as standard, it makes me jump every tme my dad comes past me at 120 mph at stupid rpm

Sneaky add on to my quote I notice TC.

Quick derail: It's a pic of our bike before we made it blue. Luckypants didn't like the avatar of me in the reflective so I thought this was even more horrible.

Back on track.
