I missed this thread. I didnt realize you once had a SRAD. Looking at the SRAD and your new bike you can tell just how much flab has been shaved off the GSXR through the years.
Yeah the newer one feels much more nimble, I do miss the old one though, even to this day they are still very good looking bikes. As you can probably see from that picture it taught me a lot about looking after a bike, I kinda neglected it a bit, I used it on a daily basis to get to and from work, so one day it decided to spit the chain out along the A5
I was young, poor and rather spent my money on beer than maintenance on my bike even though it was my pride and joy, but that taught me a massive lesson, lets say it was a real brown trouser moment.
