Suzuki GSXR 1000 Review

“Bought a Suzuki 1000K6, have worked in the bike trade...”

Written on: 24/06/2009

Good Points
Motor, power delivery, suspension, handling.
For a stupidly potent bike it's surprisingly easy to use, but you need to be experienced because you'll find yorself going quicker than you thought.

Bad Points
You can't be critical of it as a sports road bike, or you'll be missing the point.

General Comments
Bought a Suzuki 1000K6, have worked in the bike trade for 7 years and ridden most bikes. My Hayabusa got written off, so I went back to sports bikes. I knew I always got off of K5/6s witha smile, so I bought one. Not a moments regret, very quick, light,nimble and very stable - it's even pretty comfortable, a little tight on leg room, but that's not what I bought it for

It's over-kill for the road with sticky tyres, but hell it's good !

You have to keep youself in check a bit and have fun in the good sections - very recommended !
