Suzuki GSXR600 K4... its amazing!! I took one out last week, also took out ZX6RR 06' but its far to extreme for everyday riding... does have a lap timer though!!

You can buy my GSXR1100? Very fast in a straight line..

How you loving Exeter? Got loads of catching up to do..

If your looking to upgrade then it has to be a SV650S, it is a "girl's" bike after all

I'd go for a k4 750. Better paint schemes than the k5, but they're identical bikes and you'll save yourself some money

thats a slight price hike from the £3000 to £3700 stated in the original price - not to mention higher insurance.

[DynaMight]

£3000 for a J1 is a tad expensive (unless you're talking sub 8k miles and totally mint) J1's in decent condition should be fetching about £2500 max. £3700 will get you a very nice sub 8k miles 03/04 B1H ZX6R!!

Test ride all of them and choose the best

Laura wont ride a girls bike, SV650.. horrible..

Buy a Hayabusa and be done with it.. or a TL1000R

a few years ago at thruxton a girl dropped her TL100R on the grass parking up in front of me. Apart from the embarrassment of dropping a bike plainly to big for her at walking pace she also was unable to pick it up off the deck on her own.

it was at this point that I made a mental note to never own a bike I couldnt pick up of the deck myself. Thankfully that means I will never be able to own a hardley ableson

I'd try to find a nice gixxer 750

[ZXR400Lee]

Never own a bike you couldnt pick up huh?!

I picked up my Dads Triumph Tiger 900i after my brother knocked it over in the garage, thats heavier than the Hayabusa.. so I'm fine..

Get a V-twin though Laura, I think it'd suit you!

Im picking up[ an absolutely showroom condition YZF750r tomoz, theyre cheap as chips on the second hand market right now. Very nice ones going for around 1.5k (for unpopular colour schemes mind you) About 2-2.5k for one in a nice colour scheme like mine. Insureance is cheaper than me SV650 too

[ZXR400Lee]

If you cant ride an SV650, what makes you think you can ride a YZF750R? Your going to seriously injure yourself or someone else.

Thought you werent ever posting again either?!

[lost_identity]

I can change my mind. Proves a point though I put forward a suggestion and people just get on my back and decide to try and put me down. Whats your problem anyways. Im not even gonna rise as ive decided in starting to post again its a "cant say anything nice............." kinda stance im taking. End off as this is hijacking the thread really.

[devilride]

cheers guys but i went for the ninja-it is totally mint with 12k on the clock and full service history. picking it up next week after full service. speed superbikes exeter-can recommend them..very good and friendly service. see u all out very soon!!
