Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD 99

Had the suspension tuned by TW Suspension Tech last year but had no chance to ride the bike as my brother crashed it shortly after having the work done (cosmetic damage only). Bike is on road, but was built for track days to save my Superduke.

 

Used it at Anglesey on a Jamie Whitham two day track day and it was utterly brilliant. I have had had many bikes for the track including Ohlins suspended R6's, GSXR1000's etc but the SRAD handles superbly, I know it is a cliche but it really does feel like it is on rails. So stable and compliant even under heavy braking (race pads and Brembo Radial master cylinder etc so it does stop !). I have a Tobi steering damper fitted but the bike doesn't need it and I left it on the first click.

 

Cannot recommend TW highly enough. Bike gave me such confidence that crap as I am (trust me), I got past a guy on a new ZX10 with ohlins fully active suspension and BST carbon wheels etc on more than one occasion. I didn't even think about the bike, it simply allowed me to get on with riding around the track. Even my already well worn tyres managed to hang on without ragging up, so sorted was the suspension.

 

I swear to God that I would rather have the bike like this than with 200bhp on standard suspension !

 

Thanks Teut!
