You guys are forgetting that online internet forums often gather a larger percentage of intelligent riders; this is not indicative of the percentage of intelligent riders in the overall riding community.

We here on forums are into bikes, some of us do track days and race, most of us are into riding hard but also safely and geared up.

When the new ninja 250's come out we all are interested... the average rider, not so much. They all want gixxer 1000's.

The market for a 750 just isn't that large, in reality. The gixxer 750 is a sick bike though.

The other thing to note is bike width... the gixxer 1000 is a lot wider when you sit on it than the 750... felt like a tank when i sat on one. Even if the weights were the exact same, I would buy the 750 just for the shape.
