I have a 2004 GSXR 600, i'm 49, first bike after recently passing test (here in the UK), it's just gorgeous, not all about speed either, it's awesome just to cruise around on, great looking, sounding and so easy to ride, dont find it uncomfortable at all on long rides.
Heyyy that’s my generation! Got an 04 600 with 15k miles as my first bike and have been commuting everyday for 6 months now. Absolutely in love! Definitely saving this one Dave.
I've had my 2005 GSXR 750 almost 4 years now Ridden from 6920 miles at time of purchase, To about to break 30,000 miles. Aside from regular preventative maintenance, No issues.
Just sold one for 3k, rebuilt title. Great bike! Super handling and awesome MPG no matter what speed you go. I already miss it although I jumped up to a 2015 Zx6-r.
Trust me older bikes can still run pace if you know what your doing 😉 .....zx-7r 96-03 still whooping up on new age generation teaching trackdays with #seabiscuit the trustworthy old steed 😜👍
