Default So I bought a new GSXR 750

Our very own Omar hooked yours truly up with a smokin deal (thanks again omar) on an '07 GSXR 750. It's getting ripped apart and rebuilt as a track bike, but i threw the tag on it from my streetbike and took it out a couple of times. I want to do 100 miles and change the oil before tearing it down. The first obvious difference between this bike and my RSVR is the weight. Holy shit this thing is crazy light. I took it down Kelly drive (a very twisty four lane race track road that runs along the river into Philly), and I kept turning in way too early. I bet my turn in points at the track will be 10' deeper than they were on the Mille. I also kept thinking about how many thousands of dollars I spent on that fucking Mille to make it handle the way this thing does right out of the box. I can't wait to feel it after all the suspension work. Oh and by the way, this bike is good for 80mph in first and 135 in second.
If you're gonna buy a bike, buy it from Omar. He really is a good dude.
