I just bought an '04 GSX-R 600. Read up on the new ones before you buy. Sport Rider put the new Suzuki in first place, and I love mine. Adam (my hubby) has been riding for years, and he says my bike is one of the best he's ever ridden.
We were this close to getting the new Kawasaki ZX-6 for me, and the ZX-10R for him, but went with the Suzukis instead.
