Default Any converters from a GSXR to a RR?

In a previous post someone suggested that I might want to get out of the 600 class and move up to the GSXR 750, because I want more speed. Do we have anyone who has converted from GSXR to an RR, especially an 07 600RR? Hows the comfort difference?

Why would you ever want to switch to the GSXR? Come on man the CBR is simply BEAUTIFUL!!! My personal opinion....

You dont want to do that. The 600RR (hear say) Is actually more comfortable than the 600/750. I persoanlly like the ergo better, but its all up to you man,. Its how you feel on it.

I just want more power, I'm tired of trading in bikes every couple of years. I want a bike I can grow old with, and I don't think I'll be able to talk my wife into getting another bike after I get this new RR, or GSXR 750.

So wat do you think about the comfort difference, between your new 600rr, and your Gsxr? Did the Gsxr hurt your wrist, or back after long rides?

the gsxr made me feel like i was sitting on my nuts constantly
the way the seat was shaped it was always throwing me forward and against the tank

the 1000rr is much more comfortable than my new 600rr but still the 600 is way nicer than sitting on the gsxr
of course the zuk was an 04. i havent sat on any newer ones

i think the 750s are awesome still light enough to throw around and enough power to run 'em down on the straights. i wish more co than GSXR offered a 750. if you want more power what about a liter bike?

Dude I'd wrap myself around the first tree I saw. That's too much power for me. I think that I wouldn't out grow a 750 anytime soon. I'd hate to invest in a 600rr, and out grow it next year though. Maybe by the time I get bored with the 07 RR it will be time for a slip on, a K and N air filter , and power commander. Then I'd be challenged again. I get bored quickly because I live in Ga, and pretty much ride all year round.

I dont think there is a whole lot of difference between the two in power. Yes there is some but nothing super major ( I think its about 18 hp or so to the wheel difference). I dont like how narrow the GSXRs seat nor tank is. They are WAY to narrow for me and I dont like searching for the tank when I am going into the corner or anything. I like the way the tank and the seat are on the RR. Its a feel ting too, but HP wise, I dont think there is sufficient differnce between them. Also, the 750 is about $1000 more almost (I think they are $700)
