I have ridden for 10 years, currently riding a 99 GSX-R 750 which I will stick with for some time, it's been the best bike I have owned or ridden to date.



Although I don't ride as much as I like to right now as I have no job.

Have you ridden a gsx-r 600? Is the 750 quite a bit quicker?

It's quicker no doubt, but in recent years the 600 has been brought up to par with FI and various upgrades, certainly a great bike. I had a 600cc katana before this 750 and I found myself riding the **** out of it and looking for more so I did a fairly big upgrade, lighter, more hp.



I wouldnt really say anything of the GSX-R's are weak kneed.

I have an '01 Honda Shadow Spirit 750. I got an '81 Yamaha Virago, worked on it for a year, drove it for a year, then got the Spirit new in '01. So I guess I've been riding for 5 years. I'm ready for a big sport bike, all I need is the winning lottery ticket. I've been drooling over the BMW motorcycles lately.
