Now we're talking, such a pleasure hearing that from the horses mouth.

hey forkoil......I've got the noise problem of the GSXR-600 solved for you:

Get yourself a Kawasaki ZX6-R.....its not as loud stock as the Gixer and it handles just as good if not better. At the very least take one for a test ride before buying the Gixer so you have a reference point.

FknA, I did test ride a zx6r, admittedly not a good test ride, but I found the riding position akin to sitting on a steeply inclined ironing board, didnt like it at all cf the GSXR riding position.

2. My 07 svthou stock suspension is shit. Sully rides his sv650 much harder than I can ride my thou. I have to use the power of the thou just to keep him in sight.
3. If you like twisties, and you want a bargain, look at the 900 hornet. Yes I know it looks like a bit of a nana's bike, but with motocross bars they are a hoot, and will go the distance as a tourer as well. And you won't have that Suzuki reliability to worry about. 11k list, with I bet more room for the dealer to discount than a suzuki. (they'll be running them out soon as the cb1000R is due).

if thats the case maybe shoulld be getting a bandit 1250
be better than the hornet
just my 2 cents
