    They would do, they are selling after all!

    If you're an Aprillia rs rider then not much chance of me selling you my MT03, oh well, worth a try ; )

    I'm a Suzuki rider since my first moped and 250's and although I've had other bikes the big red S still does it for me. I actually have a GSXR K1 (the thou) and love that styling. I'm with Gerry though on not necessarily going for the biggest fastest, I had a GSXR750Y (pretty much the as K1) for a few years and loved it, suited me well, plenty quick enough for me and I could explore most of the power some of the time and still feel in control. However, as a GSXR1100K owner, I've wanted the 1000 for a long time and when a nice one came up couldn't resist, kept the 750 for a while but couldn't justify both so sold it last Spring and kept the 1000. A bit better bike in every way (brakes, suspension, etc) apart from the motor which is quite a bit more powerful. For me though it's too much, the motor dominates and whereas I was okay yanking the throttles open at 80/90 on the 750, the thou is another kettle of fish. Says more about my ability and size of b***s but as a 'mature' rider I've probably got the wrong bike as I wanted bigger/faster. Still, it's better for bar room bragging rights though ; )

    My advice; take your time choosing, enjoy the process and remember, unless you want something rare and exotic there's always another bike so you don't have to take the first you see - that's definitely a 'do as I say not as I do' statement BTW : (
