Hi all,

I had a 1991 GSXF 750 and it was ok but decided on getting something a bit smoother and something that ran a bit better. It's a 98 GSXR 600

I picked up the below 2 weeks ago and I can't stop riding her, I love it. I took the yellow off as it wasn't to my cup of tea but apart from that she isn in good nick for a 98 with decent milliage too.

Let me know what you think

I love SRADs! They're excellent bikes.

And it's also a capital offence to ever replace the 'hump' with the pillion seat.

Pillions are not allowed on SRADs, they spoil 'teh sexiness'.
Oh, and since it's an early bike watch out for carb icing. I think they had recalls but it's worth checking if yours has carb heaters. If not, buy some proFST before winter.

Cheers for your replies!

I have the pillion and the hump and I can't make my mind up which I prefer!

Got rid of all the pads as they were well over the top, its just clean and tidy now and I love it.

Cheers,
Si

Seat height's fairly low, just the seat's quite wide.

Chunky in general though, can't imagine corners being fun if your a proper shorty..
