Hey all,
Most/Some of you know I just recently bought a GSXR600 after many of you told me it was a bad idea and it's not worth it.
Well, you were all right, once again.
After what I saw tonight on the 403, I think I'm going to call it quits with the SS and get something more tame. I've been on the fence about getting rid of it, basically as soon as I bought it. There's no point in owning an SS on the street, it's just too much unnecessary power.
What really drew the line for me to probably put the GSXR on the market, is what I just witnessed. I pulled onto the 403 at Appleby line, Hamilton bound. Before I even get on the highway, all I see is three idiots fly past myself and multiple other cars doing AT LEAST 200kmph. I thought it would be fun to catch up to them, but quickly gave up after coming to my senses that not only is it extremely dangerous, but it's also illegal, very illegal.
So, I followed behind them for a little bit once they slowed down to a "reasonable" speed, to see if they would slow down even further and at least interact with me. They kept riding, eventually getting back on the throttle and weaving in and out of traffic at again, speeds of probably 180+kmph, no signals or nothing.
That situation right there has turned me completely off of super sports. Sure, riding at speeds like that is fun, but not when there's only people around, that's just moronic and selfish.
Anyways, rant over. I've decided to seriously consider selling the SS and getting a SV650, I think they're called.
