For a first bike, thats pretty major.
My first bike was a 600 bandit and that was quick, but the GSXR needed some experience for the commute, definitely. Take it easy for the first three
months at least.
Kindest Regards,

Great stuff - now run out there and take off the double bubble and pillion rail thingy and find a seat cowl!

That looks like one nice bike.
Are the front disks ok they look a bit scored, could be a photo trick??

Haha! Great stuff, bet that has some "mumbo" to quote a certain ausie!
It took me a while to get my hea around just how quick one of them was at getting into trouble!
Biggest tip if your planning on racking up some miles on it is, acceleration is only one way to get out of tight spot. It's not always the right
choice.

Very true, though sortly after i got mine, i found myself in a situation where it was the only choice, and then ran into the law.
Plan ahead, stay back and keep looking around you. It is your responsibility to know whats going on all around you at all times.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Nice bike - be careful....
As a fellow biker - before you go anywhere - ride to your nearest location of HERE who conduct the best riding
courses and are good value for money.
Advanced Riding is a WOT compared to this, though it would help when you're starting out... dont go anywhere your brain hasn't been three
seconds before!

Brings back good memories of 99 when I had a new WX model. Sold my ZXR750L3 model for it and could not believe how nice and easy it was to change
direction on it, nice and light feel at the front.
I would keep the double bubble screen though as its near impossible to view the clocks otherwise.
One thing to remember about them is that they suffer from carb icing in cold conditions. The simple cure is to block of one of the air intakes at the
front or you can buy a spacer for the fuel tank from Suzuki.
Finally have fun, they are great bikes for learning the craft on without being stupid fast like the larger capacity bikes......
