Track ride: 2004 Suzuki GSX-R750

I cannot stress enough how much this [motorcycle] behaves like a 600cc machine when stopping and turning. The beast it turns into when accelerating is nothing like a 600, however. Turn-in is crisp, and it flicks back and forth with ease. When the throttle is applied though, it feels like you are at the business end of God's own Louisville Slugger.

This much power would not be of much use without being able to get it to the ground. The traction on the Suzuki was fantastic.
