Dont get me wrong, they are awesome bikes. If I was in the market for a fully faired middleweight I'd be looking at a Triumph. Especially the blue and white. I love blue and white bikes. The Buell XB's, the 1125, the Triumphs.

How could I have left that out. Of course, Tiggers. Honestly, there are a billion of the blue and white stock GSXR's out there...but there were always my favorite. And as I've said before, your bike looks awesome.

Maybe the 80+ ft lbs of torque?

It looks sweet but that swingarm looks so damn frail.

As far as middleweights go I still prefer the GSXR750, not that I'd own one again but... liter performance from a 600 weight class... you can't beat it.
