Hi all - Shawn - 09-05-2009
Picked up my new bike from 500km away yesterday, and took me all of today to recover...18 years without a bike, and I buy one of these...
..certainly puts my old 1100R to shame power wise, but handling is poor, Im looking into that...Anyway HELLO
Shawn

Welcome Shawn, what have you bought yourself, a gen 1 or gen 2 ? There is plenty of info on this site about how you can improve the handling, or ask & someone will know.

Thankyou

Welcome Shawn,
18 years without a bike, then pickup a GSXR 1300 and ride home 500 Km would have been quite a tense ride. It maybe not so much of a handling problem as a can not handle the ride problem.
There is lots of information in this site and willing advice from members to sort out problem if there is one.
If there is bike on the road it is a ride, If there is more than one bike it is a race.
