I'll always have a place in my heart for the 3/4 liter GSXR.

Suzuki have kept the 750 in the lineup cause it is still cost efficient to produce. Used to they based the 600cc GSXR on the 750, sharing design and production budget. Now they base the 750 on the 600 but still have the same chassis and ancillary parts (wheels, bodywork, brakes, controls, frames).

The GSXR 750 also has a cult following in Europe where they sell strong. Personally I loved the ZX7 and the GSXR750. Even had a crush on the YZF750, although I never felt the R7.

My ZX6/636 has great torque and with my slightly larger rear sprocket feels very 750 ish. I just don't have to worry about flipping it over like I would a liter bike...

:lmao: you arent gonna get very far riding your bike dry. Maybe if you find a really steep hill :lol: 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 :lol:

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?

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.

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 really doubt it.

Another problem with 600's is that the rpm's are higher on the freeway, which gets old over long distances.

750 is the best of both worlds, they are better commuters than 600's, and better handlers than most 1000's.
