| i'm like you in that ive just passed my test and have noticed a big difference between my 748 sp and other bikes,i had my 748 2 hours and someone hit it outside my house,the insurance gave me a gsxr 600 k6 and ive done 3000 miles on it in 6 weeks.having not really ridden mine i could'nt wait to take it out when i got it back this week,i nearly plowed straight on at the first corner i tried to take fast(the gixer would've sailed round no probs)it really shook me up,i pulled over and explained to my mate whos an expierienced rider,he took it out and came back grinning from ear to ear who said it was amazing and it handled a dream.he asked if i'd kept it singing in the revs in the corner and thinking about it i'd kind of coasted round a bit,after setting off again and following his advice of keeping it about halfway up the revs it transformed it for me and felt so much better,ive done about 1000 miles this week and am loving every minute.i guess the point of this ramble is yes they do feel different and aren't as easy to ride or forgiving,but i wouldn't change it for the world,as for the sound of the engine im not sure,but i bet some of the more knowledgable on here may be able to explain,all i know is i bloody love the sound of mine with its induction roar and carbon term's :-)  |
