Who's it for, you or the ole lady? It boils down to personal choice. Do you like Suzuki? GREAT! Get the Gixxer. Love Hondas? AWESOME!! get the honda. Either bike is going to have way more power and ability than most people could ever use. Both are good bikes. It comes down to what you like best and what "feels" better.

Oh yeah, get what YOU like, not what everyone else likes. They aint riding the fucking thing, you are.

VERY true...I know the honda's are damn solid because I've owned them. Not sure how solid the gixxer's are. Never did research or cared to. I know many gixxer owners here and basically want to know if they come across any motor issues.

Rowr!

Nice post SPRHK!

Well, I've seen how "solid" they are from personal experience.

Here's what happened to a gixxer after a 20mph lowside:

That's just the YELLOW ones. The white are stronger.

Well, I own 4 Hondas,one Yamaha. I have owned Suzuki's in the past. As a matter of fact, My last suzuki 750 I sold to Saxon with 56,000+ miles on it, he proceeded to run her up to 106,000+ miles before he broke a paw on the shift drum. They are all good. They all spend HUGE $$$ in research & development. You are gonna hear "Honda Sucks! Suzuki Rules!" or better yet " Only fags ride Suzsucki's". Get what you like and what fits you the best. Either one will be a great ride. Besides, unless your buying a 98 VTR1000 like mine....you're just settling for second best.
