[QUOTE="MotorToad, post: 558961, member: 14083"] Personally, I'm a big fan of the "whale tail" GSX-Rs. The 750s had the best suspension and best engine of all the sport bikes at the time. Also, IMO this era was the last of the good looking sport bikes, the YZF-750 (good luck finding a nice one of those for $4k) and ZX-7R (good luck finding a nice one at all) were all just drop-dead gorgeous. It looks nice and I wouldn't fault you for paying that much if you're really wanting it, but I think you would be able to get it for less. If you're just wanting a sport bike, you can do better (newer, anyway) for $4k. If you're wanting a track bike, go to the WERA forum and get something that's already been track prepped for half the money. :) Keep in mind, though, that if the bike has good/new wear items (wheel bearings, fork bushings, head bearings, etc) this is one of the best handling bikes ever, and I think it'd stand up to any stock suspended modern bike from the big 4.
