There are two Gsxr750s, Three hurricanes and an 08 cbr1000rr in the garage. The one in the avatar is a 97 GSXR750.

Favorite? Thats a hard one. They all have their time and place. Currently I ride the 1000rr the most. I have been riding and restoring the Hurricane for years. The 08 GSXR750 is my wifes' new ride. The 97 is for sale...I have a real love-hate thing with it.

The love-hate relationship developed over 12 years of cold blooded starting, weak clutches, carb maintenance, and tempermental appetite for low/no ethenol fuel... The love part of it was the raw edge of its power delivery, the light and responsive handling, and the seemingly endless inspiration its moments of bliss carving corners delivered.
Believe me when I say if it sells I will miss it.
