    I can see it happening too.

    Slofox mate, you make the whole thing about riding so appealing.
    It makes me want to hurry up and sort my shit so I can get the 675.

    LoL....... Thats why my latest attempt of a sports bike is a naked Speed Triple, I feel like I am goin alot faster with all the wind resistance/ noise...... I couldn't stay alive on a gixr thou these days, temptation would always get the better of me, and I'd hate to have my mrs debt free with the life insurance spend up lol........
    I am freindly really, I only bite when provoked

    1.5 years since I owned one, and I still feel the pull. Tis like a recovering alcoholic. Occasionally my head gets a word in and reminds me about the massive inconvenience losing your license causes

    Nice for a quick flick, but I find it an absolute power a chore of self control on the heavily Policed roads around Akl. I personally prefer something pinable and crap NZ roads compliant - rather than a devolved racing machine.

    Yeah. I agree. I was thinking that as I was trying not to fall off the back and hoping my arms would shrink back to their normal length...

    It's just your bike shop trying to sell you your next upgrade, after all it worked last time.

    I know what you mean though, I had my brothers FZR1000 to hoon around on for a while, not quite a GSXR1000 but still scarily easy to wind it up to well over legal speeds without even thinking about it. I kept it in 2nd around town so when I got the urge to open it up I was still doing something resembling a sensible speed.

    I wouldn't ride one when its slippy and wet :P

    On the other side, are the engine management systems on the 2007+ GSXR Thou and the 2009 R1 that good..? e.g if you were inclined to communt in the pouring rain - does the pussy control switch make things more controllable?

    Ridden mine in ice and snow before. It's a linear pussy cat at low to medium revs, just pulls like a freight train.
