Lusty is looking for a new ride

EDIT: OK, I’ve found one!! See my last post on this thread


OK chaps, it’s that time of year. I’m moving on from my little CBR6 [sob sob] and onto pastures new.

I’ve been initially thinking of a secondhand: GSXR750/R6/R1/Blade/… any other suggestions (budget allowing)?

Also, does anyone know of anyone selling above mentioned bikes for around the £4k mark?

Answers on a postcard

Did you try that Motorcycle Centre place where I got mine…?
Blindley Heath…you’lll find them on the Autotrader bike site and he had several Gixer’s round the 4k mark…

Jap crap. Get a temperamental Italian… you know it makes sense

Two words fire blade, ya know it makes sense!

You get to have a really intimate realtionship with your dealer… love/hate kinda thing.

The 750 is the way to go. You’re probably looking at a good K1/2 (post SRAD), possibly K3/4 for that sort of money - they hold their value quite well.

If it’s a gixer, I’d go for K4 upward, blade anything from 929 on and any R1.

Thank you for your comments. No Tobes, not yet. Just started looking last night.
Just been offered an R1, 05 plate, 267 dry miles for £4.5k but the owner put up the price to £5k when he heard I was sniffing around
(Just out of my price range).

Lusty,

Only one way to go - say zx7r, say Gixxer 750 - ask Adz, me or any other 750 rider - do you really need the extra 250cc, the extra power and the extreme hike in insurance??

NO, you don’t.

Get yourself a quality tool, for a quality lady!

hehehe, thanks babe.

give rex judds at west hampstead a ring they have over 400 bikes down there now.ask for tom 0207 328 7659

If you would like to become a better rider, a modern litre bike would be a step in the wrong direction in my opinion. But if you feel you have to have one, go for the less focused Blade (pre 06) or R1 (04-06).

Go for the blade lusty!!!

Don’t do anything until we see you on Friday nite, with tequila in your hand!!

Hahahaha, then I’ll end up with a CBF6 - sorry Matt

dont forget to ask tom,if there is a new bike you like ask as we can get anybike

Hmmmmm…
Sexy underseat tailpipes. Purrrrr…

I REALLY LIKE THE R6 RANGE, MAYBE ONE OF THOSE IN UR PRICE RANGE?

Whatever you do, do it before January goes South…people start sniffing spring and prices go p automatically…get in the whilst its pissing it down, and you are the ONLY person in the show room…seriously, they’ll throw extras at you. Jan and Feb are rubbish sales months…even if they try and tell you they aren’t. Bargains to be had!

oi you! Nothing wrong with my CBF6 :slight_smile: It’ll get me to Russia and back!

Yeh, …think vibrations !!!
