    Talking After 2 years and 12k miles of cruiser riding, I tried something different

    Yep I finally got to ride a sportbike!

    The bikes an '07 Suzuki GSXR 600. It was a ton of fun. It's amazing how responsive the thing is. Although I will admit, I wasn't a fan of the rearset pegs. But other than that it was a blast!

    Shifted to second @ 0:31, shifted to 3rd @ 0:35. After that I did take it on a main road and used all but 6th gear. The vid just shows me trying to get used to the rearset controls.

    A far cry from your current ride. Will you have a new bike for opening night at MCN next year?

    You'll never use all that power...

    You should have tried a Busa...

    Hope you had flip flops and a T-shirt on.



    Congrats on the expansion of your motorcycle horizon.

    Congrats.

    Took one short ride on a Ducati after 12 years of riding touring bikes, to convince me that sport bikes are for me.
