Advice On 97' GSXR 750

Yup, I love my thou but I do miss my '97 750.

Personally, considering what your on now ( a damn good and fast 250)...I would take it easy and move to a 600 but of course I have no idea what you proficiency level is...........

The GSXR 750 is a serious bike though. Its almost got open class power but it weighs more like a 600 than a liter bike. Its really a perfect balance but it also deserves respect. Dont know much about the 97 model though........

One interesting bike (not sure if you get them in NZ) would be something like a 2003 Ninja ZX6R.....636cc....its got a decent midrange.........and its a good step to take before going to a 750 or a liter bike.......in my humble dumb ass what the fuck do I know American opinion.

Good input but you won't own a 636 over here for $5500. The '97 750 is a good all-round bike, vrey focused but at the same time felexible enough to commute etc.

Dude, seriously, stay off the drugs. Yes I am a GSXR fan, but you see there is good reason for that. The ZX7R is a good bike, quite good looking as well. But, it is about 25kg heavier than the SRAD 750, and about 15hp down. The ZX7R is an older design, whereas the SRAD range was a completely new design.

But the 7r is just soooo dam sexy

Most certainly can not deny that, one of the best looking bikes out of Japan in the 90's. It's an iconic superbike shape. It just can't match the GSXR everywhere else where it's important.

the only flaw in that theory is that the '03 636 makes all of 3bhp less that the 750 but weighs almost 20kgs less.

so moving up from a 250 to the 750 is probably a better idea ....

Get the R6! - awesome looking bike and pretty fast too

loved my 600 srad... but also love my 2000 750.

pity I have to sell it though. Was sad to the the mighty srad go ealier this year and gonna hate to let the 750 go.

I think it's prolly the torque that would be the deciding factor there...
