what i cant get it is anyone who steals bikes has to be a biker, should know what they're doing to people. Total [Censored] [Censored] and no mistake, if i knew someone was riding a stolen bike i'd take it back.

Good luck sorting it out mate 8)

Well it's been 8 days now and I still have not heard from the insurance company. Every time I phone the AA (Brokers) they just get back to me saying they will contact you in two or three days.


Has anyone got any sugestions on what I should get next. I was happy with the blade but fancy a change. I was evan thinking of getting a smaller bike but unsure of what. I picked up a daytona 600 the other day for my brother and was shocked on the lack of power.

took them over 3 moths for my insurers to pay out on my theft.

gsxr750 is a good shout but black is better as its not as common, try the triumph 675 for a not so common alternative

So how come you couldn't keep up with me over Dartmoor :? :wink:

Like any 600, ring it's f'ing neck 8)

Insurance compaines are quick enough to take your money. I would phone trading standards. I have before about a DVD recorder and they are very helpfull, no harm trying them.

Right have booked some test rides for tomorrow with bridge. GSXR 750, ZX-6R and Mike you'll like this one. Daytona 675. They don't have an R6 there that I can try. Reason for the post is does anyone no of any bad things about any of these bikes such as high Depreciation or high insurance.

Thanks in advance.

I will be interested to see what you think to the 675, I just chopped mine in at bridge for a new blade. It's a great machine and will feel like a pushbike compared to the blade it's so skinny!!

Go for a gsxr 750 mate as has more than enough power for road and track.

I have had my K7 since sept 06 and have done 2600 miles and 2 track days and have to say I love it 8)

I have not had any problems what so ever !
