I bought this 2008 GSX-R1000, white and silver, after riding a different brand of 600 for 3 years. I couldn�t believe the difference. Granted, I did go from a 600 to a 1000, but the 600 had a lot of performance upgrades. This GSX-R1000 just amazes me in all aspects. I like to ride curvy back roads, long road trips, and I love to do track days and drag race. The first week I had this bike I put 600 miles on it. After I had the first service done, I took a road trip to Chicago to test the comfort. All I can say is this is the most comfortable sport bike I have ever ridden. With someone my size on the bike, it can't even tell I am on it. This bike just handles so amazing through the corners, and when I need to pass someone, or just race someone in a big expensive car. It is just a blast. I got the opportunity to race someone in a brand new Lamborghini Murcialago, and the driver of that car was pretty upset when he got outrun by a much less expensive bike, when he probably spent $400,000 on that car. Just another thing I brag about with this machine. But it is definitely not for a beginner! Oh, and I definitely love the dual exhaust.
Upgrades/Accessories: Zero Gravity smoke windscreen, blue led neon lights, fender eliminator kit (not sure what brand). And of course I had to get new tires already - Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart, not sure how good they are yet since the weather stinks around here.
