having ridden for over 14 years, and owned gsxr's since the 88 slingshot 750, i can EASILY say this thing totally eclipses all expectations and experiences i have ever had. it already feels as strong as my k2 (but just a lil less quick... this will change!!)

i also dont like the factory pics of the bike either; they are totally unflattering.

perhaps this gives a better feel?
