[QUOTE="DieselTech, post: 1300532, member: 74999"] Hello all, I rode my friend's '05 GSXR1000 yesterday, and it was quite an eye-opener for me. First off, my ride is an old-school '96 GSXF750 Katana, which although it is a sportbike (and it's engine is a direct descendant of the original GSXR750 engine), it's not a race-replica, and of course it's a carbureted 3/4 liter that is 9 years older, so I expected it to be a little different. Well, I was quite surprised at the way the bike handled - it felt completely different to me than any other bike I've ever ridden! In turns, it felt like it wanted to "stand up" - on any other bike I've owned, the bike would lay right into the turn when you lean, but not so with this thing. Seeing as it's my first ride on a bike like this, and I wasn't really expecting this handling trait, I was not very comfortable riding the bike - I felt like I was a newbie! Other than this, the bike was very nice - smooth, great power, great brakes, nice clutch and shifting. Even the ergos weren't that bad (at least for a 10 minute ride). Can anyone explain this handling trait? I'm sure that there's nothing wrong with the bike - maybe these bikes require a different riding style that I'm just not accustomed to? TIA [/QUOTE]
