I have ridden both the 03 & 07 600RR, the 07 1000RR, 2005 GSXR600, and 2006 GSXR600 unknown year 750GSXR and the Stigs nakked newer model 1000GSXR and all are good bikes.
I have to say, based on my experiences the GSXR's are hands down the winner in overall comfort and performance. They are less prickly on power, have a good solid powerband across the board, are a more comfortable ride and their flickability.
Hondas are a more solid, clunkier feeling in balance bike with a tender touch needed in throttle control and a ride like sitting on a 2x4. The 1000RR i am currently playing with is like riding a bucking horse. The power is there, its a good solid bike, but taking twisty roads and curves it leaves some to be desired.
In the end, its all going to come down to user preference, but based on both technical specs and personal experience, I would ride a suzuki any day before a honda. I dont care if everyone and there brother rides one, I dont need to be that different and unlike alot of my fellow gsxr riders, i ride my bike like she deserves and was made for. No cruising the strip here dearhearts...

I have heard about frame issues from them in the past and have heard no resolutions to those problems via recalls, transmission problems, my Suzuki has only 11k on it and its starting to consume oil and smoke. What kind of BS is that.

Ummm, further down you admit to popping wheelies. Sweetie, they were made to keep wheels on the ground, thats why theres 2 wheels. If you want to ride on one wheel, get a unicycle. Asking your bike to pop wheelies, even small and short ones is asking her to break down and have issues. I'm at almost 10k on mine and have never had an issue (other than me crashing her). Not trying to offend, just stating fact.
