GSXR SRAD V GSXR?

[Seademon]

Bit of a novice question I expect but can anyone tell me what the difference is between a normal GSXR & an SRAD GSXR?

Mate of mine has a GSXR 1000 K2 & said that the normal GSXR is better than an SRAD but didnt really say why.

I've done a search but couldnt find any answers

SRAD's are the earlier models (1996 till 2000 i think).

K2 GSXR is the 2002 model, engine is more powerful (and fuel injected) and shape was changed for the k series (no more large rear end).

Have a read of this for the finer points.

The most modern of GSXR model changes

SRAD, has a big fat arse and Carbed 600 and 750

K series Y 1-3 The new breed, Fuel injection 600 750 and 1000

K Series K4-5 Newer version of the k1-3, sharper smaller faster 600 750 and 1000

K series k6-onward Slightly more revised version than before, alot smaller alot sharper, slipper clutches as standard, an awsome ride.

of course there were GSXRs before the SRAD, but my knowledge of them is vague.

Thanks - Im hoping to get a K4 750 next year but if they made it smaller than the K1-3 I might not fit - just have to go and try some out I guess

The SRAD's are still good bikes IMO, i rode a 600 and was really impressed with the way it handled and it wasn't slow.

I've ridden a K3 750 too and was impressed with how fast it was for a 750, but on stock settings i wasn't impressed with the handling.

SRAD 98 99 models are fuel injected. 750 definately is dont know about the rest. V4 on the forum has one and had trouble getting a replacement engine as its different to the more common srads.

The GSXR SRADS are one of the few older supersports bike that can near enough cut it with the newer models Just shows how good they where in their day!

can't fault my gsxr 600v SRAD in any way at all

just replaced the suspension on the rear as it's nearing the 10 year old mark, much better now with a stiffer spring.

MPG is around 30mpg but I very rarely ride slowly


you can normally pick one up for around 1800 quid with T and T
