Default Not an SV but a Suzy, will it do?

it was a tough decision but I decided to trade my pride and joy Triumph Daytona 955i SE for GSXR 1000.

Picked it up today and been on a 100 mile jaunt to try it out with Kamakazy on her K3.

The trumpet felt great on way to dealers - bit of a wrench but her mileage was beinning to show and I was just waiting for the big bills to come in.

The gixer is brilliant, looks pretty good, fast, responsive, nimble all a sports should be and although older than the trumpet looks a bit more modern, but I have to say it doesn't feel as good as the Trumpet neither and does the K3 - but its early days. Pics will follow but my need for food is taking precedence...

Suppose I'd better change my 'name' any nice clean suggestions? Thought about Umfster

Nice one, but I guess I'm bound to say that. In the 'right' colour as well. How does it compare to the K3?

Doesn't feel much different to the K3 but I'll have to do some more tresting to be sure

But sorry the Daytona was better overall IMHO (so far) if not qute as fast!

I guess it'll take some time to get used to. When I got mine I was definitely slower initially than when I had the SV (apart from the running in bit) it all felt different but I take it easy anyway. It's a big change from what you are used to. You'll allways miss that Trumpet though I think.
