suzuki's gsxr were first avail in FI on the 1998 srad 750 model. a very basic (8mb) processor found on the tl's i believe (prone to alot of lurching, etc, but can be mapped out)

IMO, the gsxr 1K (k5) is BETTEr than a 600 in it's poise, and has the motor to go all day long....

i also can vouch for it's following, and offer to you a quick visit to me site (see below) for visual stimulations....

i also love the zx10R, but i bleed blue and white (14 years of zook ownership)

ps- if you have a pumpkinhead (myself) the shoei's generally will fit your grape better. if you have a more oblong mellonhead, the arias generally are gonna wrap your grape better....

make sure to try it on before shopping for one online, if you chose to got the helmetshop.com
