    I own a GSXR-750. My dad is more into cruiser bikes, as he is more concerned about comfort than his 0 to 60 time.

    It is a SRAD. I wish I could ride it one more time this year, however down where I live the weather is getting a bit chilly, so I think that I am done riding it for this year.

    My hubby has been rebuilding a Suzuki GS1000E and it takes pride of place in our living room, it lives there simply because we have no garage or anywhere else for it lol. He's worked very hard and quite a lotof the bits he has made himself. :) 8) :p

    I live in the US. To say that they are quick would be an understatement in my opinion. Good luck with your carburetor!
