This weekend we finally had a break in the weather. My buddy and I picked up his 675 last week on one of the coldest days, but we got it done.
Saturday we went out, he threw me the keys as we always swap bikes whether he took mine for a spin and I rode his old 650R, or we swapped GSX-R for his British Beauty. Anyways, the 675 is awesome!
The brakes are AWESOME, the stainless steel lines from the factory make a massive difference, I can only imagine what the Brembo's are like on the 675R. The bike is a bit taller feeling than my 750, but it was not hard to get used to, and for me being a short rider the 675 felt more comfortable while riding !! I was pretty surprised. I had less wrist and back fatique on the 675 than on my 750.
Power wise, the gsxr definitely feels much more powerful especially down low. The 675 doesn't like to be held below 4k rpm without feeling sluggish, whereas the 750 feels great from 2k up. There may also be some break in still to go on the 675 as it only has 2200 miles. Up top power is similar but I still feel the 750 has more guts, but obviously we are talking about big, powerful bikes regardless.
I will very seriously consider the 675 for my next bike!
