Gixxers are reputedly the most comfortable supersports. Have heard R1 are the most comfortable/accommodating for tall guys.

Yeah think that's what he said. I do love the look of the black R6/R1 and the black gixxers so I guess I'll have to test both before I buy

Yamaha don't have a 750 though do they?

Yeah test both. That said, here's a different way of looking at it: I didn't even test ride my Yam when I bought it. Just sat on it to make sure nothing fouled against me immediately. Haven't looked back. Maybe I got lucky, but the way I see it, you can adapt to any bike and ignorance is bliss - I didn't want to know how comfortable any other bikes might have been. Worst case scenario, if you really hate the thing you can just sell it. Nah no 750 super sport that I'm aware of, very unusual as the other big 3 all have one.

they do, just not in a park full of joggers, walkers, kids, families and other people walking around

i think its fair enough that 1 park is exempt from bikes

im sure they were allowed at one stage and far too many incidents occured where cyclists plowed into walkers or walkers plowed into cyclists so they banned cyclists

Might stick with the gixxer in a 750 then if/when I go to a 1000 I'll decide between the 2

My mate has a 600 gixxer and is only a short guy, but he told me not to get the 600 as u need to work it hard to get it going, whereas the 750 is the same size bike but better low down I think it was.

The R6 might be different though

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
