    Sem Fiddy fuel consumption?

    Anyone own or has owned a K8 or K9 GSX-R750?

    What sorta fuel consumption do they average at?

    It's always a bonus to know you're going to make the next gas station, especially if you're travelling at night and most are shut.

    I measure my fuel consumption by the size of my smile when I get off the bike . . .

    What he said - just buy it, you deserve it.

    I'd think it was better than the 600 - same size bike, bigger grunter engine that in day to day use will rev lower than the 600 to get the same effort.

    Feck I'd tap one then make it naked!

    Ermmm.nooo...just curious

    Just that Boyds have the 08 750 in there that is in the same colour scheme as my 6. Be a pity not to look at it I reckon.

    Vixen is in for service 6 Jan. I'll take sem fiddy out for a run then.

    Then, no doubt, I will be looking for some way of embezzling funds from somewhere...or not.

    Be interesting to read your opinion after owing the 600 for awhile now.For my money the 750 has to be up there for sportsbike on real roads of all time award.
