Best for: Built primarily for spirited canyon carving and track-day performance rather than relaxed everyday commuting.
Built for: A razor-sharp, high-revving in-line four with a light 163kg dry weight gives it explosive acceleration and knife-edge cornering agility typical of the GSX-R750's racing pedigree.
Not ideal for: Not a good fit for riders seeking a plush, upright, long-distance tourer or a machine for gentle daily commuting in comfort.
