Far fewer than R6's or R1's.

I would.

I'd buy one for a street machine... and rock my Tiller at the track.

Is the GSXR 750 considered a middleweight?

My understanding of middleweight comes from the old AMA rules: 600cc 4s, 675 triples, and 750 twins. They all produce similar peak HP but with different powerbands. 750 fours and 850 twins would really be in their own class IMO. I wouldn't call this a middleweight. Of course this thing is faster than a 600 four, it's like 40% bigger or some junk.

This thing is hawt, I want one. I might be the weirdo that gets it in red, although I'd get white over either of those!
