The old Honda Hurricanes were slick too

The thing I liked about that GSXR was the super light weight and the 18" rims -- could really scrub into corners hard and the bars stayed neutral. I made a few trips to Laguna Seca with that bike in tow. Flipping down the corkscrew was a rush on that bike -- it left the pavement coming out of the top corner and down the screw the first time I really opened it up on that course. heart went in throat. But I managed to always keep the shiny side up on that bike.
Hurricanes were great handlers also. bit heavier, but quite capable.
I'd love to find another GT750 Triple, that bike was a great traveler and having the two stroke midrange was just pure rush on the highways.
