simply the best liter bike

By robert(Owner), Oct. 17, 2008

most people would agree, getting a liter bike as your first street motorcycle perhaps may not be the smartest thing. unless you get the GSXR 1000. with the ability to choose between the power of a 600, 750, or full blown 1000 simply by flipping a switch, you can now GROW INTO YOUR 1000! no need to g...

The bike that never fells you.

Army guy with a 2k8 1000

By brock(Owner), Jun. 2, 2009

The gsxr is powerful, and fun to ride. Had it for almost a year now but I had a chance to ride my friends 08 1000rr and I liked how that bike was so much lighter. I like my gsxr but I might end up trying the new 09 to see if I like it better. Read Full Review
