I'll ask my coworker who races an RC51 for forums that would be more appropriate for you to browse. 99% of the responses here are going to be magazine racers.

the GSXR is a "Better" bike if you care what the magazines say (chances are, and no offence, that you are not a skilled enought rider to be able to notice the differences on the street), looks wise its all ZX7R, i think it was voted top 10 sexiest bikes of all time, its a classic

The GSXR has been continually updated by Suzuki, whereas the ZX7 has been practically forgotten by Kawasaki. There are a lot more spares out there for the Suzuki, but both bikes are competent street and track bikes. I almost bought a ZX7 because it looks awesome! I don't like the Gixxer 3/4 because it looks similar to the 0.6 and 1k.

Some of us just aren't fortunate enough to experience racing different bikes.

I guess your part of the 99% since you have to ask someone else . . . Why not ask first instead of just assuming everyone is too stupid to answer somebody's questions? Thats pretty lame if you ask me . . . Get the gixxer, cow's are straight line bikes . . . But don't listen to any of us since we are obviously not as qualified as that other guys boy . . .

see, magazine racing right there. most people that have ZX-7Rs love their handling, the ZX-7R was successful in racing for many years, etc... what experience do you have to label it a "straight line bike" ?

My opinion, and a friends opinion that currently owns a ZX-12R. I'm just bein dumb cuz I was annoyed by that comment, so just ignore me lol I mean its not like I have access to every make/model bike out there for track testing! And unless anyone here does, then I guess we're all magazine racers, track experience or not . . . which I do have . . . And thats kind of closed minded . . . 64k question: Gixxer 750 vs ZX-7R? I think the answer can be found in research . . .
