Anyone had a gsxr750

[Slaninar]

I agree for the right person , Great bike, very exciting .Due to the huge difference in riding positions etc, It would take me ages to be able to go quicker on the GSXR,than I can on the Fazer .Shame, but not for me at nearly 60 and with a knackered neck.
As an after though some people get on with push bike drop position, but I never could, as my back played up! This was in my early 30,s , The Gixer would probable suit somebody with a cycle race back ground.

Tried mate's GIXEr yesterday. Took it for a short spin. He is a former cyclist racer. Still rides very strong (15 years older than me and leaves me waaaay behind on longer climbs). He has a SM 600 bike, one cylinder. It suits him for town and tight twisties. He says GIXEr is better for long, less tight twisties and for the motorway. For everything else it is too awkward handling (takes a lot more room to make a slow moving circle on it, can't bend the steering wheel enough), and makes you want to go fast.

For the 5 minute ride I took, it felt comfortable (my back likes that position).  It feels and looks nice, but just not practical enough for 90% of the way I use a motorcycle. I'd use it as a 2nd, track use bike.

It's also a fact that, from my black Fazer, friend's red CBF600S, the yellow GIXEr was unanimously declared as "the prettiest!" bike by all the children present at the party yesterday. They all wanted to sit on the GIXXer!
