After my disappointment (see SV Talk)

What are the differences between the SRAD's and the newer K's??

Thanks

Not sure

if you can find a back issue of T.W.O they had a write up in there a few months back about 750's and did a review of each generation

I'll try and dig it out for you

Fizz... it was the June or July edition last year - the one with the Rocket 3 on the cover. Chutz and Coombest brought a copy to me when I was in hospy after my lorry challenge. Ironically, I had a big clear out last night, and binned that copy along with a load of other bike magazines.

In essence, size, weight, handling, and a little more power. Earlier engines were peaky, later ones (especially K4/K5) have better mid range. SRAD's were quite bukly but the 750's have got slimmer through the years.

Current model is said to be a better road and track machine than most litre sportsbikes. Power is more useable etc etc. SRAD's are officially a hooligan tool

aren't SRAD's carbed? Think they introduced FI on the K1...

Also SRAD's are pretty ugly IMO - look dated...

a K1 is also a physically large beast too!!
