    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 th ...

    GSXR been the best ride since 1990s. Today gsxrs 2009 are all the same size only dif is the ccs and the model gets better yr by yr. Gran Sport eXperimental Racing the best. In the 90s buddie of mine with a gixxer 600 cc boarded his out to 1100 and let me have a go at it for my first time and thats when i knew gixxer for me. Thanks Suzuki :P

    I picked myself up a K2 GSXR 1000 last week after some numpty's decided they like my bandit 600 so much they would keep it. Holy crap Im blown away by the looks, power, comfort, coolness etc of the GSXR. It was raining out the night I got it and I was a little nervous of the back sliding out in the wet, not at all, silly me. The bike was stuck to the road. I have ridden the K6 1000 aswell and personally I would prefare the K2. I just rather the lights and the few little bits and bobs done to mi ...

    Just bought a Suzuki K6 GSXR today after a test ride. Hughely impressed with engine and ride comfort. Traded in a 05 Blade and im sure the Gixer is quicker.

    Having ridden sports for in my collection for 30 years I was lucky enough to move to the Isle of Man where it is possible to use the performance of todays sports bikes. You notice on the TT course which bikes can cut it. I decided I was pushing my current ride too hard and a true sportster was needed, I tried all the top bikes in one day and for me the Suzuki GSXR 1000 was the tool. Forgiving plush ride yet totally unflapable and that engines punch is incredible. It will pull yards out of any b ...

    Its got loads of power when needed well plenty for the road anyway. Can't find any bad points, apart from the horn not working after washing it one day and the f1 light coming on onc in a blue moon. Nice bike all round goes well and handles well for its age.

    This bike is a phenomenon! I had an 07 and let it go to get another K5 just for the track. The midrange is unbelievable. Just point and Shoot. I'm outta here!

    A very responsive yet nimble and easy ride with great and instant power. this beast can be tamed and is at home through the town as it is on the open road. within the space of a year i went from the 600 to the 750 to the 1000 and by far the best bike ive ridden.

    This bike is a total missile just point and hang on. I have a k6 1000, for my angry blood thirsty adrenaline crazy days (still having them at 43yrs old. Guess I will never grow up. But for my normal cool Sunday squirt I have an Aprilia Tuono factory. Equally as crazy but tend to cruise at around 60 mph less. Than on the gixer. I get a fantastic buzz from both bikes, and love them both equally. It ' s all down to my mood on the day to which bike I prefer to ride.

    The Suzuki GSXR is a very easy bike to ride fast and thats what its made for. It doesn't handle as sharp or as forgiving as a GSXR750 but its far less effort to go fast on. Ride it/Rev it like a 750 and you will fall in love with it. I wouldn't swap mine for anything else, but I haven't rode the 08 blade yet!

    Suzuki used to take technology from the 750 and then put it on the 1000. From 2003 they reversed that, the tech on the 2003 GSX-R 1000 is put on the 750 in 2004. Easy to control on low speeds... but an absolute MONSTER when you decide to open up the throttle from any gear. When your in sixth gear it feels like you're in fourth, never have been higher then 5000 rpm (have it for two months) but it seems to be all I could use (legally) on the road. I love the looks of my K3, "baby Busa" and it' ...

    Love the bike and its rapid response as I am only 5.6 its great I can actually touch the floor on it as well. I am not a technical girl I just know hat I like and thats the GSXR100 I loved my GSX600 then went to the ZX9R E2 and the GSXR is by the far the next step up I want to take and a great improvement on my last bike. The bike just feels great as soon as I got on it I felt as though I was part of the bike.

    They fly! My 2006 is quite the ride I only open the throttle full in second gear, first gear gear is next to impossible to do so in the mid RPM ranges. I modified mine with new intake and full racing exhaust and adjusted the rev limiter, the bike does what you ask it to do. Amazing!

    Its my first second Suzuki and not a model I would have gone looking for, but as it came along at a reasonable price it was bought. I've got to say its got plenty of poke in any gear - more than is usable in most circumstances really. The handling is very good - better even than my 98 Blade which I always thought was excellent anyway. And its light - not that it looks it - but it is. I've got the HEL lines all round and assume that the brakes are now improved over what they were before but comp ...

    My assessment is based on having owned...2ZX10's...1R1...and 30 bikes in all. The GSXR can be ridden in town like a Vespa or transform into GODZILLA if needed. I really love the series.
