No comparison. The 2003 GSXR 1000 K3 is incredibly stable at speed. The
radius mounted brakes are far more effective than on earlier years, and the
fuel injection is smoothed out. The reach to the bars is less, the tank
is lower, and therefore you can go further with less stress. If you're
choosing between one of these two overkill motorcycles that you will never,
ever, be able to use, definitely go with the 2003.
