Advantages Speed, handling, reliability, snarly exhaust note.
Disadvantages Maybe not quite as stylish looking as some other bikes.
Susuki GSXR-750. The Hooligans weapon of choice!!!
Previous to buying my Gixxer 750 three years ago I owned a 2001 Kawasaki Ninja 600. I ended up having no end of expensive problems with the Kawasaki and in the end I part-exchanged the 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

Engine
~~~~~
Everywhere I look always seem to give different BHP figures for my bike. So it is somewhere in the range of 130-150bhp. The bike is not as loud as a similar 600cc sports motorcycle. The engine does not need to rev as hard to access the power. I used to feel like I was banging through all the gears on my 600, right at the top end of the gears, but still lacking power. The 750 is far less frantic and you’ll find yourself changing gear a lot less often as the engine has more torque than a 600. There is more power lower down the rev range. The gears feel quite firm and slot into place reassuringly. I love the metallic snarl that the exhaust makes on Gixxers. It seems to egg you on saying `come on you wuss, thrash me how you know I like it!!!’. It’s not screamingly loud like on a 600cc but it has a very purposeful, snarly sound to it.

The handling is great!!

The standard blue and white was my Husbands first ever bike and he will say it was the best bike he ever owned.
