GSXR 750 k8 vs L1

Hello all,

I currently own a K8 GSXR 750 that has covered 46,000KM, overall I'm very pleased with it. However, I have always had an itch to upgrade to an L1. Is it a big step up or would I be better of investing in say a better rear shock for my K8 and front fork rebuild?

I know that the k8 has a 15mm longer wheelbase compared with the L1, as a result it is more flickable. Can anyone verify this?

I find my K8 comfortable compared to other sports bikes too. Does the L1 sacrifice some of this comfort?

Looking forward to hearing from follow GSXR owners Thanks in advance!
