2007 Suzuki GSXR1000K7
An ex Suzuki NZ superbike, this was a weapon, chock a block full of Yoshimura goodness....but I never quite gelled with it. On paper it was a step above the previous CBR but it didn't inspire the same confidence, even if it was faster.
I struggled for feel with the top spec WP suspension and eventually swapped it out for Ohlins, but not before a big crash.
Power a plenty but the slightly snatchy throttle always gave a moment of doubt on corner exit. It taught me a lot, and I did improve, but it wasn't always fun.
I had both my best and worst results on this bike.
