[quote=Loz]Henry, what you say about the GSXR1000 is echoed by the journos who write about it, and my own experiences of riding with people who own one. I've ridden a GSXR750, which I have to say, accelerates like a lunatic - BUT - it still needed to be kept on the boil. One day I'll try a Gixxer Thou and see for myself.

Loz,your more than welcome to try my GSXR1000 K6 if you want on the "you bend it,you mend it "basis,it has a very linear,almost Ducati power delivery below about 9000 RPM where after its just ballistic.The handling is neutral,the ride is softish,the brakes are not as sharp as my old 748R but powerfull,the looks are marmitey especialy the exhaust but obviosly not as pretty as 916 types,the finish i have to say is nowhere near as good as a Ducati but you just know that every time you hit that switch it will start and it just does what it says on the packet.Oh and did i mention that air box noise? Just heavenly.

Bury Hill?
