    Tell us more!

    Spent the whole day looking and didn't spend a penny! Found most of the sales men a pain and instead of me buying I was walking out the door?

    I owned a GSXR 600 for 3 years and loved that for the twisties, would keep up with my mates 1000's but when on the straights it did struggle. Test rode a new GSXR 750 and that was lovely, light, quick and easy to ride fast. The 750 would keep up with 1000's no probs unless your going on long straight roads and redlining it. Where's the fun in that?

    Had a K5 750 Anniversary and a RR6 Blade, the 750 gathered dust in a corner of the garage ...........got bored with having to scream the nutz off it to get anywhere

    I remember going out one time with a GSXR600 (04 - me); GSXR1000; SP1; ZZR400 and the ZZR400 was the same speed if not quicker than me and my mate (GSXR1000) round the bends.
    I say the lighter the bike, the more flickable, the quicker you will be round the twisties. Just avoid long fast straight roads!!

    750 is a great bike. I can't outdo it on the road .. K5 thou is appealing as you could run it without a loss bar consumables.. Found myself looking aT blades again tho :D
