@steve13hood@mcclenp Im now on my 7th rear tyre! I have tried the road 5βs + the road 6βs but am now using the older pilot road 4βs because i find them just as good and can now get for a lot cheaper!
Got a deal on mine for 230 a pair!
Slightly less miles then the 6βs but still a great tyre π
@steve13hood@mcclenp A lot of reviews moan about the tyres!
I didnβt find them too bad but now use Michelins and definitely have a bit more feel + confidence!!!
@Hippo_Drones There are just so many good bikes these days! We are spoilt for choice but the price of some of them is absurd!
If money was no object iβd have the new GSXR1000 thats about to come out!
Β£17,500 i believe π³
Can thoroughly recommend the GSXS1000 as a solid reliable machine tho!π
@Dalesrider1@Hippo_Drones Iβd say thats fair, do feel that the initial acceleration 0-60 is pretty much on par with both the 600 + 1000gsxr when properly pinned! I regularly go out with a mate on a R1 + it matches it out the corners! Tails off a bit at high speeds + lack of a screen is a disadvantage π€£π
@Hippo_Drones I also had the very first GSXS1000 brand new in 2015 + that was a great bike but can definitely say that this model is far superior mainly due to smoother fuelling + addition of a quickshifter/blipper + also much more modern styling! Similar power performance π
@Hippo_Drones Its the 1000! I find the power delivery fantastic all through the rev range! The quickshifter is buttery smooth up + down! Its comfortable! Throttle reaponse is instant but not jerky!
My last 2 bikes were GSXR600 K5 + then GSXR1000 L6 + performance is sort of in between themππ
