you arent gonna get very far riding your bike dry. Maybe if you find a really steep hill i posted umbers and links the last time the issue of 750 weights came up but my bike is lighter wet, maybe the k5 too cant remember. And the rsv4 is lighter than me

My point was is that the GSXR750 is the same weight as a 600. You're going to tell me your 954 is lighter than a 600?

Nice rides but I'd have to go with the all black.

I would, if it was more comfortable. I'm sorry but that bike is a rack compared to the Zuks.

I like the 750 and would have bought one IF they were offered by the big 4. I thought about the GSXR 750 and I do like it but didn't want to buy one since it was the ONLY one offered.

There are things I love about my wife's R6 and things I love about my R1 and imho the 750 would be the best of both worlds.
