Susuki GSXR-750. The Hooligans weapon of choice!!!

Advantages: Speed, handling, reliability, snarly exhaust note.
Disadvantages: Maybe not quite as stylish looking as some other bikes.

...bike for a brand new Suzuki GSXR-750 K5 model. I bought my bike as the new model was coming out so I got a hefty discount on it. You can pick one of these up for about £4000 now. Which is good considering that they are known for their bomb-proof engines so you shouldn’t get any problems. Just be careful as they are a bit of a track day goers favourite so might have been trashed around race tracks. ~~~~~~~ The Look ~~~~~~~ I bought one of the ...
...the standard blue and white Suzuki colours. Not knocking the blue and white scheme though, it does look nice. My favourite is the black paint job but I don’t want to pay more just for the paint job. I appreciate that the newer model is a better bike. But I am not a fan of the styling. So that was another thing that helped me make my decision. The K5 has a more angular, sharp styling which I prefer. You get digital clocks which are very clear to ...

Suzuki GSXR600 K5

Advantages: Very quick, looks good in black and silver, handles beautifully
Disadvantages: Licence taker

Well what can I say the GSXR 600 K5, probabaly one of the best of the series. I got mine for £5000, second hand 3 months old 400 miles on the clock, the bloke I got it from was scared of it, wanted a quick sale to buy a bandit 600 again. WHY???? A beautifully well balanced machine pushing out about 110 to 115 bhp and a top speed of about 155-160mph. (I have had 153mph out of mine, tested and tagged in a speed trap). This machine will take your licence ...
...the exhaust without worring about setting up the carbs, I love electronic ingition and injection valves. The bike does the work for you. Petrol tank holds about 17 litres, waring light comes on when your getting low, I was 20 miles away from a petrol station and got there ok so plenty of time when the light does come on. The clock is digital display nice and large figures. Change the steering damper if you want the stock ones are ok but I prefer ...

Feisty little nipper

Advantages: Bloomin quick for the size engine
Disadvantages: Quite high maintenance

...All in all the suzuki RG125 is a cracking, solid little machine, which if well looked after will reward its owner with years of fun. I kept mine for four years before I had to get something bigger (and a little more practical) Happy biking See you at the NEC soon for the motorcycle show! ...

Rolling Thunder!

Advantages: A low price for a hell of a lot of bike...!
Disadvantages:

Looking for a real bike that not only performs but looks and sounds the bollox? Well look no further, the TLR is just that! It is a complete nutter's bike, looks as mean as they come and sounds twice as bad. It is quite a long, and chunky bike with quite a high saddle, but it can easily slip through the air like a knife through butter. Do you like wheelies? Well the TLR loves to be opened up and thrusted onto the rear wheel. Crack the throttle and ...
...like a dream and, with the steering damper now fitted as standard, accelerating hard can be more fun than having to worry about getting "tank-slappers" as on the old TLSs. I have always been a lover of V-Twins because of their sound, and this is no exception! Slap on some end cans or if you're brave enough a full system, and this baby sounds like the best and loudest thunder storm you've ever heard. The TLR, in my eyes, is second to none! ...

Unleash the Animal

Advantages: all the fun of a 600, WITH MUCH MORE POWER!!!!!!
Disadvantages: Not quite as good finish as Honda's

Suzuki GSX-R750- A Review By Addy Having been an ardent dedicated Honda man for the majority of my biking life, I actually relented and bought a Suzuki GSX-R 750. I was definitely looking for a step up from super-sport 600's, after having 3 different models of CBR 600. I was giving serious contemplation to two other bikes at this time which were Aprilia RSV Millie, or a Honda CBR 900 Fireblade. However, after much deliberation and friend's recommendations, ...
...judgement that you get the best of both worlds combining raw 750 power in a 600 chassis. The first Gixer 750 was released in 1985 and has undergone periodical changes since then. THE LOOK As in the picture above I purchased mine in the typical blue and white Gixer colours. In standard form the bike is aesthetically pleasing and ultra sexy but the beauty of motor-biking is the levels of personalising. I wanted a bike that looked sweet on both ...
