This is my last race bike at Oulton park (Thundersport), when I gave up racing in 2010.   |

Very nice! Loved my old GSXR K8. Ridiculous power for the road really, but manageable. Which do you prefer to ride on the road and why? GSXR IL4 or RSV twin? |

Hi mate, To be honest it is difficult for me to give you a comparison. I bought the factory rode it home from Chester and then I left to go abroad for 3 months the following morning, so never had a chance to really give it a good ride. The Gixxer though was a great bike on the track and the road. I found it a very confidence inspiring bike to ride (Well the K6, not sure on other models), excellent planted front end. Couldn't fault it really. Can't wait to get home in Feb and hopefully have some decent weather and give the aprilia a good run, it felt great on the ride home though, even though it was in the wet. Cheers.
