GSX-R 750 seems to be the general recommendation.
I'm going to test ride both as there's only £50 difference in the insurance and £1K between the OTR prices. I'll report back, any other opinions please post, they r very welcome. thanks John |

i got my 600 k8 last week - still running it in so can't comment on power over 8k revs
![]() the mode selector (chicken switch) seems pointless at the moment but as an earlier poster says maybe in the wet. I think the bike is fab, really light, leans in so well and is great to handle, the seat is very comfy, no sore ass like i had on the sv. I did debate the 750 but couldn't see the need to spend the extra money, the 600 still gives 125bhp at the crank and as for the 163mph top speed, maybe one day ! for the mileage you do the 600 would be fine i reckon. |

For the odd blat I would agree there's not so much in it between the 600 and 750, because you (me) would be happier ragging it 'on a run', it's day-to-day or long rides where it you aren't 'full on' that it could get tiresome. It has the 600, and a GS500 lol. It's pointless though, the 750 is so manageable, probably more so than a 600 as it's a bit more even through the whole rev range, rather than rapidly increasing up top. I tried it out once, to see what it was like - really, no point. |

nah, to be honest i didn't take any of them for a test ride, i just bought it. I tend to use it for work very occasionally but then just blast it on a saturday so thought it was fine for that. I do tend to impulse buy and maybe suffer for it later... |
