I went to the Brisbane motor show over the weekend for something to do. Mostly about cars but I read that Suzuki, Honda and Kawasaki had stands there.
My wife is trying to convince me to get her another Kwaka so she was up for the trip.
Anway, back to the point, while I was there my son dragged me over to the Suzuki stand (he likes yellow, not Suzukis, trust me! :mock).
I can't believe how small the GSXR600 & 750 are! They didn't have a 1000 there so no idea if its bigger. I'm not a big person, 5'10" about 160lb (70kgs), but there is no way I could see myself fitting onto one of those things. They felt like they were alittle over knee heigh.
For the first time I realised how big my R1 is, which I thought was small and light having just come off a 2000 R1.
Interesting that they went that way.
(R1s are still *way* sexier! :fact)
