Post by Varcon »

Hi all,

Also, how much should i be looking to spend ?

I quite like them, nearly bought the 900 a few years ago, they were a follow up to the teapot looking GSX600f and seem to be as reliable as any Suzuki, more tourer than sports along the lines of the ZZR600 i reckon.

here are a few for sale:

both these are around the 900 quid mark which is cheaper than the suggested prices in here :
