I'm looking at possibly getting a GSX750F.
I was wondering if anyone can give me a comparison of the riding position to, for example, a GSXR?
Would the GSX be more upright, and substantially less sporty, or would it be more or less the same?
Thanks in advance...

Sports tourer vs sports .. there is a marked difference.
The GSXF has a comfortable, not leaning of the hands, slightly more upright sitting position to the GSXR.
Mind you the other bike I have ridden is the CBR600 which is a total sports lean forward and feel like you are falling over the handlebars type of jobby.

The F is much more upright though a guy here at work still had handlebar rises made to make it more upright.

(At least you didn't call it a Katana).

Ironic that the next couple of lines of that little rhyme suit you so well... :msn-wink:

The riding position is somewhere between the meerkat and the alligator.

Thanks for the replies.
You guys have all convinced me its not the one... I enjoyed the sporty position of the 'ol FZR, so I think I'm gonna keep searching...
Cheers,

I like to emulate Craig McMillan and crank the sideways stance...

the gsx750f was a great bike to ride, could easily ride it all day, and had a complete instrument cluster, and it went well, but quite different from the gsxr id think

Why dont you go sit on one for yourself mate ?
if you want something more sporty/low down ,but like the katana, then try out a 600 (the position of the bars on the 600 is lower than the 750's) and they are pretty much completly convertable to GSXR parts once you want USD's etc :niceone:
