I just reread the thread and second the comments about high quality suspension. My Gixxer has a Penske and well built forks, but they aren't set up quite right, and they have two race seasons on them. They are OK for a novice season, but they make riding the bike an adventure in guessing what it might do next. A friend who is racing his 675 this season dumped some huge amount into the bike. It has lots of engine mods already, but it also has a full Ohlins suspension, including forks. He got the top of the line stuff, so he probably has more in his suspension than I paid for my whole race bike including spares! You get what you pay for- he is a lot faster and more comfortable at the speeds than I am. He passes me with traction to spare while I am bumping all over the place just hanging on for dear life.
