    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.
    Get your motor runnin, head out on the Highway ....

    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

    Hey, that's a little unfair.
