I have always liked a feel of power, especially in vehicles. I tried to manage first with cars, but they didn't satisfy that feeling. I definitely don't have enough money to get a car with lot of power and thats why I desided to get a driving licence for bikes. I don't want to buy bikes all the time just to get start with less power and after got bored to get more powerful bike, that made me turn straight to 1000. And GSX-R as a bike model just looks pretty cool in my opinion. Also with less powerful bike you can drive like a grazy (faster than you can handle) and vice versa. Most important is that your attitude goes together with your skills. And now after 1000km I'm very happy to this decision, the power of this bike just feels amazing and makes me smile every time I ride...
I try to remember pictures next time.
