My first Sports bike. I'm in love.

[techniques]

After 12 months of happy ownership, I've px'd mySv650s for a GSX-R600 (K3). 

 

 

The sport bike is everything I'd hoped for and more. 

 

The noise. Overwhelming (especially with the Yoshi exhaust it came with,) but something I'll happily get used to.

 

I've gone from 10 year old boys ogling and paying me compliments on the SV, to teenagers and grown men getting involved on the GSXR,

and the police will be paying me more attention too, I'm sure.

 

I'm taking a 'gently does it' approach. The opportunity for a big mess up is written all over this bike. The amount of power available is insane.

 

I passed 10k revs a.k.a rocket mode, for the first time on the m26 this morning and felt myself slide back into the seat and the front of bike start lifting up. 

That's new...

 

In 2018 I was spending hours on youtube watching Sport bike vlogs, dreaming of the day I would get to own one.

 

1 CBT, 1 cbf125, 1 DAS, 1 SV650s later and now here we are. What a journey.

 

I feel like a kid right now.

I had a K2! 

Grown men ogling? All I got was young kids saying things like, "how fast does it go, mister? - giv it some revs." But I loved it just the same.

Good to see a good old fashioned sportsbike in a world of adventure, naked ,retro bikes or Harleys.

Yes sir!

 

I'm a 90s child, so all the movies I watched growing up, it was all about the sport bike. I'm finally having my Tom Cruise moment haha.
