Suzuki GSX-R600 srad - GSXR600 - A Blast From The Past

I've sold my Benelli TRK 502 X and taken this Suzuki gsx r600 srad as a part exchange.
I don't have fond memories of the last one of these I owned. 15 years later, what are my thoughts on this one.

    This takes me back...had the '98 Gsx-r 750 SRAD. Absolute stunner of a bike!

    I think if you asked any biker about their previous bikes, one of these, or a cbr600, would be on the list. Fabulous bikes.

    My mate had the 750 SRAD when I had my Blade back in the day, it was incredible. Handling was superb and it was almost as quick as my Blade, but my God it killed my wrists!

    First set eyes on this bike back in summer 1999 just before I went away to University. Scraped enough cash to buy one in summer 2006. Crashed it in October the same year. Would love another now I’m old and sensible.

    @@ivy-mac Compared to the bikes of today and the last 10 years that thing is practically a cruiser in terms of riding position. I think it was the 2009 model year they moved the foot pegs so high your knees pretty much touch your ears. I loved this late 90s early 2000’s era of sport bikes, 600cc they were useable as commuters to go to work and back, fast enough to be serious fun and useable enough to be practical. Golden era of sports bike if you ask me.

    Perfect bike for a resto project, loads of spares and knowledge available. Best of luck with it, I'll keep an eye out for updates.

    Good times, when suzuki could actually make interesting and wild bikes, instead of things like GSX-8R....
