Where Am I ?

Default tired of being slow...

my two main riding partners have '05 gixxer 600s. I was pushing an '05 M50 and so was constantly getting my *** handed to me... in response I bought an R-1. I must say after hoping from my bike to one of theirs, the suzuki seems almost pedestrian.

The GSX's seem a little easier to ride hard... I am way more likely to push them over 11K rpm, and their low speed steering is easier... but the yamaha makes doing tripple digits seem effortless... not that i would know of course.
