yamaha r1 or suzuki gsxr

[marcos713]

I've had several of each, and various years.
The first thing to ask is what years are you considering (price range you are in).
Second, how/where do you ride - just street, trackdays, etc. If track, which ones mainly.
Third, are you looking for light weight or pure hp?

My price range is about 5k max.

I'm not gonna use it for racing or the track, just a daily driver. I've always liked gsxr's and r1s so I'm really wanting to get 1 of these.

Doesn't really matter seeing as I'm not gonna use it for racing, but I wouldn't want a heavy bike tho so I'd have to say light weight.

Is this your first bike?

I've ridden both and liked the GSXR more, it felt more ride able on a daily basis at least. I think the R1 looks better though.

Yea its gonna be my first bike.

Yea imo the r1 looks better to and I heard it has better handling than a gsxr....that true?
