... I test rode a Trumpy 675 (for an English buddy of mine who wants one) and while I was at the shop I also got on the GSXR-750....
W H Y??????
Why are the manufacturers making these things so small and "trinkity"? The 675 triple looked great but felt like a motoX bike (tall and narrow), had around 120bhp but felt sluggish compared to my zx6. the Gixxer was more my style but I could not be convinced to shell out close to 20G for something that felt like a toy (the biger brother 1000, was on special for 17G??) ..... again: narrow, flimsy feeling, gimmicky junk on it (looked great but, real world??)
Anyway, I am not a big bloke, but these new bikes seem small to me. I won't be upgrading the 'ol girl for some time..... I know I'm used to mine and all, but seriously, I think they've gone in the wrong direction with these things....
(damn I'm getting old- don't like change anymore!)
