I just went from an '02 Gix 6 to a '02 R6. Did my frist track day on the R6, and well lets just say it felt very awkward. I guess I am just use to my Gix but as the day went on I was starting to get the feel for the R6, even after a tank slapper and near hi-side. I now picked up a '03 R6 that I am currently tracking out, we'll see how that goes. If I don't like it I will just go to a '04 Gix 6. Or maybe a '03 gix. It just seemed like I could hang off the gix more comfortably.

So what was your question then?
02/03 GSXR600 are the same thing.

really, the 01,02,03 are pretty much identical. couple minor things, but same motor, chassis and bodywork. and yes i race an 02. the 04 is a new generation so no one will have experience on them yet. go gixxer baby.
