Yep again SP-2 is a great bike just seems a little bit dated, also i've sat on one and it feels a bit cramped, but then i am 6'3".
What model GSXR-750 did you try. I've got a K5. It makes power from 4500rpm all the way to the rev limiter. No flat spots. You get a shove at 7000rpm and then another one at 10000rpm.

I was put off an SP2 for the same reasons as you.

Get the blade. Honda reliability, gp styling, amazing power, frankly the best one. What more could you want?

PIFF, twins are for women and people who can't afford the insurance on anything else.

FiZZwheel it was a K1 or K2, maybe the newer ones are a bit different.

Maybe. I thoroughly impressed with mine as you might have guessed. OK I'll stop going on about it now

Whatever you get off that list is not going to disappoint you
