I can't wait to get back to Barber on March 15th to see the difference in handling. The big thing I love is that the throttle on the 750 has a much more usable range. On the 10, there was a fine line between not enough gas and breaking the back end loose.

The only reason I got the 750 over the 600 is that my g/f likes to ride w/ me. I was told that I would like the 750 over the 600 for 2 up street riding.

I think there is about 30 lbs difference in the 750 and the 10. It feels like more. It must be the way the weight is distributed.

Overall, just a much better bike for me given my experience and also my size. about 5'6", 170#.

Its the lower center of gravity since the GSXR doesn't have an undertail exhaust.

That could be part of it, but I rode my friend's R1. It has an undertail exhaust, but even it felt much lighter in the front end and handling

I'll stop bashing the 10 now. You know I am still trying to sell it

Gix 750 FTW!

If you want low end grunt you get a 750 if you want top end and @200mph you get a 1000!!! THE END!
