Prepare to be raped, that word does not even do justice to what you will have to pay. By the way, will this or will this not be your first bike?

you will not get approved unless you have financed a car or something big, and payed most of that off. Get a 600!!!!! USED!!!!! You are going to want to get on it and feel comfortable. If you get anything bigger you are crazy. But hey if you want to go for it, then go ahead. Were all just trying to save you a headache.

Okay, well...it seems your are insistant on a GSXR 750.
Just curious, how tall are you and how much do you weigh?
Im thinkin if you are kind of a larger person, a 750 wouldnt really be that bad. Also, if you ride maturely and not try to stunt too much until you get comfortable on the bike, I think you'll be alright.
I think the GSXR 750 is a awsome bike. Its light, and it has almost as much power as most 1000cc bikes. Given a good rider, it could even give my R1 a run for its money.
Heres some general facts that you may find important about it:
The first year they made the GSXR750 fuel injectect is 2000. So if you can find one that you can afford, a 2000 would be best. If you look hard enough, you can probably find one for around 5 grand. Before I bought my R1, I found a 2001 that was all hooked up, with semi-high miles, for $5800.
The 1999 GSXR750 was the last year they carburated it. The main differences in appearance between the two is the front headlight, and back seat cowl. The 99 has more of a square headlight, and the 2000 has more of a triangle looking headlight. The back of the 2000 also looks more sleek and aerodynamic. Basically the 2000 looks a lot better in my opinion.
Another difference:
The 2000 has a 180/55/17 back tire, while the 99 has a 190/50/17 back tire. Im not sure exactly why Suzuki went smaller, but Im thinking it is because with a smaller back tire, you can get more tire contact with the road when the bike is leaning...meaning it would probably handle better in the twisties with the smaller tire. Either way, you can use either tire size on either rim...the difference is small enough that you can use either.
The front tire is the same (120/70/17) on both.
Power differences between the two:
1999: 135 hp @ 12,300rpm - 82.3 lbs torque @ 10,300rpm
2000: 140 hp @ 12,500rpm - 85 lbs torque @ 10,500rpm
The seat height is 1mm lower on the 2000.
The wheelbase is about an inch longer on the 2000.
The 2000 is 365 lbs. DRY
The 1999 is 394 lbs. DRY
Verdict: If you get a GSXR750, try to get a 2000, it will only be about a grand more, and it has a lot more tuning potential. Because its fuel injected, you can get a Power Commander (similar to a Apexi SAFC for a car) which will allow you to tune it considerably.
Lastly, if your gonna be stunting on it, I can assure you that you will down the bike. So be prepared to either have a nasty lookin bike, or pay a lot of money to keep her nice lookin.

Burg, I can GUARANTEE you your friends who moved up did not TOUCH the potential of their 600s. It takes alot longer than a month to be able to come close to what most 600 sportbikes can really do, despite the poplular belief. Now, if you want just straight line fast, go for the bigger bike. I'll stay with you til we reach about 110, then you'll pull away, with a top speed about 10-20 mph faster than my R6 depending on how big you go.

With the GSXR750, they did the make over in 2000 (as you can see in my above post).
With the GSXR600, they did the make over in 2001. So the 2000 GSXR600 (my 2nd bike by the way) is carburated, and they changed that in 2001 with the fuel injection. Similar to the 750, when Suzuki changed to fuel injection, they also lightened the weight, and changed the look. The 2001 GSXR600 and 2000 GSXR750 look similar. Just different paint schemes.
Heres some spces:
2000 GSXR600:
-383 lbs DRY
-Carburated
-180/55-17 rear
-109.7 hp @ 11,800rpm and 67.6 lbs torque @ 10,000rpm
2001 GSXR600:
-359 lbs DRY
-Fuel Injected
-180/55-17 rear (same as 2000)
-115hp @ 13,000 and 69 @ 10,800rpm
So your lookin at about 25 more hp with the 750. And about 15 lbs. more torque with the 750. But, GET THIS....the 2001 GSXR750 weighs only 5 pounds more than the 2001 GSXR600!!!
And with 25 more hp, thats an awsome hp/weight ratio improvement.:o
