    I'm thinking of picking 1 up to refresh as a winter project to use as a street bike next year. What do I need to know specific to this model? So far, I'm aware of the frame and brake recalls.

    TIA

    We had an expert on here who could plow fields with one. He may be back in January.

    Best literbike ever made. Faster laptimes than a Panigale.

    Aside from the original GSX-R750LTD, a Gamma and the Intruder 1400, best motorcycle Suzuki ever made. :D
    An RM370 deserves an honorabe mention. ;)

    He couldn't keep his shit non-political (which as we all know) pleases Pooh bear.
    And after a couple bannings I think he gave him time-out until the new year.
    He still appears over at Phil's place occasionally. Vroom, vroom...:D

    Having had a street 07 1000 and race bike....i always wondered why some say the 05/06 was 'better' than say the 07/08? Didn't miladin keep racing the 08 after the 09's came out too?

    Odd that we don't see that many of them on the pointy end of race grids given their GOAT status and ringing YouTube endorsement.

    :rolleyes:

    SBK development is different. Also, Mladin.

    Do a KWS 1140 or 1240... over 100 ft lbs of torks on pump. Bike traps near 160mph in the 1/4 if you have the stones to pull the pin... you can add the 07 mode switch if you swap all the electronics. Or add the bazazz...

    I think he said he just wants a nice street bike. But that does sound interesting.

    I ride the same area of Wisconsin on my blue K6. Wondered why farmers on their tractors would flip me off as I rode by?!?

    It's an exciting street bike.

    It's considered better than the K7 just because of the "meatier" throttle response and the slightly sharper handling. In stock form,it's 12kg lighter ,too.
