At my local bike meet this week, out of more than a hundred bikes, the only one that had trouble working to leave was a ducati. Im sure they work fine most of the time tho.

Okay, Gave the bike back yesterday and here are my thoughts,

Its an absolutly awsome machine, no overly keen on the looks, but other than that i cannot say a bad thing about it,
The slipper clutch is by far the best thing in these new gsxrs and im already missing it, the one thing that bugged me was since i got the duke i calmed down a fair bit, when i got back on a gixxer i was just riding like a loon topping 100mph everytime i rode it, if even to work.
It handles long distance just fine, its smooth in traffic it does everything.

If you want a bike that does EVERYTHING the 2006 GSXR750 is the bike id go for.

What can I say, Im very tempted mate. But Im not sure if it would be worth swapping as by the time I got half way home on it , it would be time to take it back to you. Unless you wouldn't mind swapping for a week?

I actually managed to ride it to work a few times ... surprising i know.. and the only time it failed to start was the first day when i 1) left it in gear and then 2) started chatting to someone with the ignition on without knowing about the 15sec turn off thingy (cheers for telling me dave)

first off i love the Termignoni pipes...just makes me want to spend silly money on an exhaust for the gixxer now .

the seat is particularly uncomfy so i wish you all the best for scotland mate Very Happy

although it is quite an uncomfortable bike for the riding i did on it (commuting thru town) it was nowhere near as bad as my old 748.... the engine is lovely and strong from the very bottom of the revs and pulls like a train, its only let down by the fact that it seems to run out of puff just over the ton

in comparison the gixxer jus keeps on going

handling wise, i dont like how slow it steers...it really takes a lot of effort getting your weight over the front to make it turn quickly

when i got back on mine it was so light and quick steering i nearly went into the kerb more than once

overall i would have to say i prefer my K6 but if i could afford a 2nd bike it would be a duke if only to have outrageously loud Termi pipes

I did like my Gixxer750, it was such a good alrounder, it was my only transport and it done everything well, i just got bored of it and its looks.
I wanted something a hell of a lot more different and im glad i did.

for old times sake.

I'll be tempted to buy a K6 next, but I've had 2 Gixxers now and I think I should try something else. Not really sure why though. Thinking
