    Anyone know the differences between the standard and R model besides the better suspension?

    Just thinking mate if it is just suspension I'd rather buy the standard model and throw the extra £3k on Ohlins

    Biggest difference - Quickshifter; launch control; LED lights either side of the headlight; different colour TFT display; different battery...........

    Also to be considered, on top of the list price - is the cost of a Yoshimura pipe to replace that dustbin ?

    Exhaust change would be standard procedure for any new bike so didn't include that as it's a given.

    Not sure the R is worth £3k more than the standard to be honest.

    Buy the standard with the downshift option and spend the rest on suspension and an end can. It'll be a better bike.

    The later Showa forks are the same units fitted on the new ZX10R and feel so much more planted and controlled over the early units..... but I hear what your saying.... for me the full beans version is still great value for money and a serous contender for this years best new Superbike.... out the box different exhaust and good to go:D

    My love affair for this bike lasted 3years 16kmiles, umpteen trackdays, broke the bank to build and refine but boy I still miss it now!! The new GSXR is going to be great! I also think you need to look at it with your right glasses... a few mods and she's going to be a ripper!!!

    Aye the new forks have great reviews. I'd be changing out the shock anyway, not sure if the forks would then feel as good with a good shock in there as it's best to keep it all balanced.

    You'd be best part of £17k by the time you added an exhaust to the R version.

    By the way I'm not dissing this bike in any way.
    I'll be testing 1 along with the R1 to see what I'm buying next

    Stunning bike mate.
    Not really liking the new colours for the M this year. Prefer last years to be honest.

    I like the yellow anniversary edition from last year too
