Firstly a Big thanks to Shaun for trusting me with his bike . I got to ride it on one of my Fav roads which Shaun happens to live at the end of , so off back down to the end of it to warm the tyres & get the race shift gearbox into my head & feel what the bike had to tell me about its self . Having all the suspenion done the bike felt bloody mint even tho it was set up for the weight of Shaun , turned round at the intersection & pinned my ears back & gave it Shit to which it just sailed through the rev range to let out the most excellent sound induction & muffler noise , Managed to get it to drift abit round one sharp bend then got it airborne over 2 of the hills along the road . The feed back from the bike as a whole was fantastic & had sharp steering and a postive planted ride . For a stock motor it had good power & pulled hard once up in the rev range . It is easy to see why these bikes do so well in racing & on the road they give you such a great package even in stock trim . Apart from the grunt out of the corners the GSXR600 was faster up this road with out the weight to contend with like on my K3 1000. So I would say a 8 & 1/2 out of 10 for this bike stock and a 9 & 1/4 with Shauns suspenion set up in it . Would be sweet to ride with the motor / pipe & powercomander done in it . " Bloody Top bit of KIT !! "" Owe ya a couple of beers Dude thanks again for ya time & conversation .
