Country:  | Nice bike!
The 1100 version has a weird ass exhaust tip. But it looks pretty cool.
I prefer Ducatis personally, only need 2 cylidners 
Suzuki Hayabusa though I wouldn't mind a burst on, 311km/ph stock wtf lmao!

Yeah I was looking into the 1100, but i didnt like the exhuast, it would have way too much to put a conventional exhuast pipe on it, like 2500.00, but im getting it put on my 600 for 1275

Country:  | I like it.. I owned a couple of the early ones... GSX600f - and it looks like they have advanced a long way since then... 
Oh, and I incurred my one and only driving ban aboard the first one - zipped past an unmarked radar car at 121mph... and then spent 3 months taking Public Transport to work... 
They are seriously quick - I'm a car driver now, but can still appreciate getting up to 60 in under 4 seconds, which is waay outside the realms of most cars on the road...
Oh.. And you should watch Mad Max again - the bike crashes in that will convince you that you don't want to go under a truck at 100mph...

Country: | Mad Max was indeed a great film (although the sequel was better); there are few nicer noises than a V8 on carbs.............. | |

Country: | Was driving back home from a late afternoon on the freeway. It just so happened that Saturday was Cinco de Drinko here in the US. Two guys on bikes pass me and another car right between us doing wheelies at 70mph.
I now know why my insurance rates are so high. Someone has to pay to sponge up the redstreak.
