New bike question

[theburger]

Hi guys,

I passed my test a couple of years ago. My first bike was a 1999 Speed Triple 955i, which I have really enjoyed. I am getting older now and have back and neck problems (never been an issue with the Triple) I am now looking for a change and not really sure where to look.

I would love a GSX-R750 but a bit concerned about comfort on longer rides. I have been looking at the GSR 750, they seem so cheap at the moment, I like the look but do not want to be underwhelmed by performance. There seems to be a lot of nearly new GSR's out there and I wonder why they are sold so quickly. Also insurance is so cheap on these.

Does anyone have any experience of these?

if you've back and neck problems you may be better with something more upright?

I have a gsxr 600, im 21 and it does my back in and is horribly painful on my wrists after around an hour to hour and a half. If you already have issues I would avoid supersports all together

My mate has a 13 plate gsr 750 and loves it, like you say slightly more upright and it seems like the bikes down geared a bit so does need to be revved like nuts all the time, I could be wrong but it certainly seems that way

Looked at cbr 600 f models ? A lot more friendly riding positions than all out sports
