If you are currently on a 600 and can't decide if you really need to upgrade to a 1000 yet then Suzuki has you handled in the 2015 GSX-R 750. The main difference between this bike and a 600 comes across in two areas. The first is the long first gear, this is where the majority of the bike's power seemed to be. The other place you feel the 750 engine is when cruising down the highway. You are able to maintain a much lower RPM while going 70 mph which makes things like long rides or commuting much more enjoyable. I was also really surprised with what I called the "nimbility" of the bike. I was able to flick this bike back and forth on the road even better than I do on my Yamaha R6! All around this was an amazing bike and if you get the opportunity to ride it I highly recommend it.

Perceived Weight

After my First Ride on Suzuki's GSX-S 750 I was a little worried about the 1000. I can happily say that the GSX-S 1000 was the bike the 750 was trying really hard to be. This bike felt like a much better package and is overall probably my favorite of the super naked bikes (putting aside my love for the Yamaha FZ-09). The major upsides with this bike are the seating position, amazing engine and fantastic exhaust note (even with a stock exhaust). There were a few let downs which included the weight of the bike while standing still and the agility. Both leaving a ton to be desired on this bike. Overall though I see this bike as being a perfect 1 size fits all bike though I'm not 100% how great it would be at the track.
