Possibly, I know the ZZR600 comes in at a "claimed" dry weight of about 380. I don't know what that year Gixxer is.

My bike, dry, is a claimed 463. But I'd be willing to bet my suspension is better.

Probably, My rear suspension is pretty bad..

But the 90 lb savings I have helps in the turns..

Mine makes just over 100 at the wheel (I don't have my dyno sheet but I think it was 102)... though I have a full muzzy system, 4* ignition advance, jet kit, and a K&N. still need to get it dyno tuned when I get to CO

but remember his bike is also a 750... he makes more torque everywhere than we do. and the right suspension will make that 90lbs disappear really quickly

Is your suspension fully adjustable? Compression, rebound...the whole deal?

He has about the same peak torque as us.. Torque curve is also pretty flat...

To get back on topic..

After finally settling on Targa, everyone is completely out of stock..

Also Pyramid doesn't make a gloss black for my bike.. I can't win..
