hmm, well it would have to be an upgrade, so that rules out the Firestorm


sooooooooooo........

the GSX is nice, but a SP2????

hmmmmmm.......probably the GSX as the GSX600 i had was really easy to ride


feel like a traitor now....

Good question.
Obviously I think the Storm is great! :D
I took an SP2 out for a test ride once, awesome!! Very fast, out and out race bike is how it felt to me.
I've never ridden a Gixxer before so I couldn't really say.
But being a V Twin fan either the Storm or SP2. All depends how hard you ride I suppose, the Storm is enough for me!!

There just isn't the same sweet sound off of the gixer as you get off the twins I love my firestorm but if I had to choose it would be the SP2 i think.

youre right its sound isnt it.................logic tells me the new GSXR 1000 is the best, handles the best, fast, great torque, but I keep coming back to the sound ot the V-twin..................it is not logical is it ?

its not logical but its great when you see the look of terror on peoples faces as your starting up/riding along after fitting a sweet exhaust system :twisted: :twisted:

Saw a SP2 today, was in a truck at the time ( anything was better than working in the warehouse today) and must admit it looked great, so its got my vote....I like the lack of cct... how ever my back probably wouldnt handle the ride position, having said that, ive never sat on one to try it out. Money no object? I reckon i could make it comfy enough.
