The Most Powerful Middleweight Ever??

[Avatard]

Yeah, that's VERY sexy...but...

1) I can't say there's too much wisdom in a flat black bike. People try hard enough to run your ass over on a good day, you might live a lot longer if it's fucking fluorescent orange....but really, there's no guarantee even then. You could put fucking strobes on it, and some comatose cager cocksucker would still prolly pull out on ya.

2) Middlewieght my ass!

That said, if someone wanted to give one to me, I'd keep it, fo sho...

Flat black is soooooo 2005.

Is the GSXR 750 considered a middleweight?

My understanding of middleweight comes from the old AMA rules: 600cc 4s, 675 triples, and 750 twins. They all produce similar peak HP but with different powerbands. 750 fours and 850 twins would really be in their own class IMO. I wouldn't call this a middleweight. Of course this thing is faster than a 600 four, it's like 40% bigger or some junk.

This thing is hawt, I want one. I might be the weirdo that gets it in red, although I'd get white over either of those!

My 636 is that screaming-ass orange they only made for '04, and it's gorgeous. Doesn't help with stupid fucking cagers, though- even with the highbeams running, the M4 cranked up, and my 6'6" ass in reflective gear on it. People are just retarded.

Why can they hardly hang with the Jap 600s in the AMA then? Bobby Fong and Rapp put on a good show at Mid-Ohio, but other than that... not much all season. Do we have to get into the whole displacement arguement again. I think that company started with a B.... its on the tip of my tongue.....
