Cool, knew he was into his cars but not bikes. Although the fact he does a lot of 'driving' on them is a tad worrying

I cant make my mind up about the bike though. Looks very tame, less aggresive and more like a gsxf. Just not overly impressed by the styling.

he has the Y2K jet bike, so he is into bikes aswell

155bhp at the rear wheel? my K4 has 162! i was expecting 180 or something by now.

Guess its all down to stricter emissions and shizzle like that. Aren't they all restricted aswell? (voluntary i believe).

Don't know if its a speed limiter or a power limiter (which in turn limits the speed to 186) but i think they can be 'de-restricted' very easily.

Most of them aren't actually limited, just the clocks stop reading at 186.

The new GSXR is a bit of a lard arse compared to it's rivals apparently.

On the Road I'm sure the differences are not that noticeable, but in a recent test on the track it was 2 seconds behind the rest of the pack!

It's strange that Suzuki have managed to make the newer model 30kg heavier, and less powerful?

More revs, more power and less weight? it's normally the case but not with the newer GSXR which is somewhat refreshing.

Most new bikes look like toys, bring back mid 90's early 2k styling.

Maybe the extra weight is because of the extra welds on the headstock
