Track-dayers often remove the mirrors.

Yep same as Quiffs, Excellent bikes, Make sure you take it at least past 7000rpm as it starts to come alive then. Take it past 10000rpm for the real fun though.

Not much to watch for, just make sure its been serviced regularly and if its got anywhere near 14 1/2 or 15000 miles on it that the major service has been done it'll be due as thats a valve clearance check.

I've got an Anniversay K5-750, cracking bikes and the best looking GSXR IMHO.
