It is light, powerful, versitile, easy to handle and lots of fun. It took me 3 years to find the perfect bike, having tried a variety. And yes, I'm small, light, female and over fourty, so there! :) Beware though, if you're starting off. This is a seriously powerful bike!! I have had a ZZR 600 last and I was happy except for the weight, it's 22 Kilo more and that makes a huge difference if your'e not equipped with a thigh muscle to hold a ten degree lean. The Gixxer is no comparison. It is made for the thrill, easy to throw into a corner and superbly balanced. A fantastic ride at speed. Country roads are exhilerating (not because of the view of cows), motorway is a thrill and filtering in traffic is easy cause it's so slim. Everything handles smoothly, gears, breaks, balance all become one with you. A seriously brilliant piece of equipment!! OK, I'm in love. :):)
