    Great bike, K6 750 GSXR. So wish I could have kept this for sunny days when you could stick your one-piece on and go out for a 'quick' blast.

    Think I'm probably quicker on the Tuono overall, but that bike was an absolute weapon on the right road. I know a lot of gixxer riders are dicks, but the 750 was an excellent road bike, don't even know if you can buy a new one still ??? Shame if you can't.

    I loved the K6 750 my ex missus had, a cracking bike on the road.
    She couldn’t ride it properly for toffee so I had to give it a good thrashing occasionally :p
    It used to get quite a bit of attention when out too as it was an import from Canada and had a nice black and burgundy paintjob.

    Was all about the front end, and a great spread of power and torque. That extra 150cc made all the difference, the 600 was awful:p

    Similar topline bhp as my 1000cc V-twin, but the torque of a v is so much more satisfying.:cool:

    My son had one at the same time as I had the K5 1000, had a few swap rides & was really impressed by the 750, ultimately it went well without ever feeling like it was going to high side you into the next postcode!
