Thats weird, my K5 tips in realyl quickly. Mine has a damper on it but I dont really notice its there. the K6 600 I rode was the same, I dont know about the damper on your mates, but I wander if that was setup problem or seperate issue with it ?

....or maybe Gixxers are just shoite.

I'll reserve judgement until I've tried another though mate. I was comparing it with my CBR which lived for corners.

Could just be the setup of that one, I rode a 748 once and hated it, then found out later the forks were setup very very badly. Unfortunately I've yet to try another one but because I know it was just the setup of that one bike I'm reserving judgement until I get to try another.

The GSXR750 is one of the very few bikes I've run into that has actually been faster than my SV mid-corner[1].

Nail on head there!!


Gixxer = japaneese for FUGLY

my girlfriend has a K6 600 and i TBH i think it is one of the ugliest bikes ever made, and i found the riding position a bit wierd.

the 10R of that year is meant to be awsome , and looks a million times better.
