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

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
Like any 600, ring it's f'ing neck
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
I have not had any problems what so ever !
