GSXR 750 - in this colour, seen it in the flesh and it is the dogs do-dahs!!!! Picture doesn't really do it justice.


Let me have the thou Kwak!

The thing that always strikes me when I read about the thous in magazines, is that the GSXR always seems to come out top when only road-riding is considered. If I was a mile-munching sportsbike maniac, I'd have the GSXR1000. I've always also noticed how suzuki's have the least extreme (by that I mean racey) riding postion; its where you want to be, hunched over, but its not completly bum up head down alll the time.

But for looks, I'd have an R1. Had a good look at the new fireblade a few weeks back......what a dog. Looks like someone took the old one and rode it into a wall, liked how the nose went flat and said "we'll polish that up and sell it as the new blade. Job done"

I cant think of a better road bike than the one I have. For a track there are better I dont deny. Some of these may have some more cylinders.

your mind is made up then?

me thinks so new blade is 9k and i cant spend that much cant find any old stock of blades either.

Go for an 06 over the 08. Youll save some money and they look better. Only reason to get a 08 is for the power switch... and imo thats pointless as you dont ride in the wet right?
