Dont scare me, bought my mate's gsxr 600 srad last summer as he bought a gsxr k1 750, fell in love with it, it's beautiful, just need my licence now, been up the road on it a couple of times and he take's it for a blast every now and then, just saving to do my direct access. As my mate said he thinks a 600 is ideal if you want to go down the sportsbike route, if you want to tour, you dont start on a sportsbike, anyway what do i know, i aint even got a licence yet.
