Lol,

And blue lens covers...............his old SV ones won't fit................and I've got them anyway!:D

[hovis]

[drag]

Would it be terribly rude to ask how much .... and what extra's ?

[kwak zzr]

well done matey! Happy New Bike! :)

[Beenz]

Nice one Quif, the K4/K5 are cracking bikes. It won't be too long before you start to hear those 'gixer voices' either.

You have the 'correct' colour as well. Welcome to the Toothpaste Massive. Are you going to ride it to the AR?

[Quiff Wichard]

gonna ride it everywhere !! for ever !


it is standard- just a yoshi can .. as new- 5K miles on it - and i paid a lil over 4K ..

was going to get a brand new one but I want a new car too !. greedy ..

if u want to know exactly what I paid then pm me . no probs

[dizzyblonde]

Well done Quiff. Little gems that are spotted whilst looking for something else are usually the best thing you ever did http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_6_2.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm824MXGB)

[drag]

no need for specifics Quiff, just wanted an idea... you never know what i'd buy next :D

[I'm_a_Newbie]

I had to travel an hour on the train to get to where it was. rode it home today ... took me 4 hours.. I love it .!

Hmmm! 1 hour train, 4 hours GSXR750 for the same distance! I think I'll buy a train then\\:D/

[Tim in Belgium]

Sensible option. avoiding all that depreciation.

And all that sensible performance, enjoy :)

[mister c]

Nice one mucker, just hope it lives up to your expectations, which i think it will :):cool::cool::p

[timwilky]

Nice one Dave. Off to gixerjunkies for you

[darylB]

Daryl.:D

[melody]

Nice one Quiff.

Can I have a go?

[Balky001]

Nice one Quiff, but sounds like you need a bit of a tune if it took 4 hours to get home, you know it has gears, right? ;):D

I bought a 750 K6 last month but only managed a couple of hours on it so far so your ahead of me. Lovely bike though. Are you leaving it standard except Yoshi of course) - personally I think the only upgrade you'll ever need is a Power Commander & custom map and even then that's being a little self indulgent.

Have fun and see you on some trackdays this year!!!

[petevtwin650]

Nice one Quiff.

Can I have a go?

Can you imagine Quiffs excitement as he read that. And his reply.

"yes you can Mel, for a price :smt077:smt077"

[MR UKI (1)]

Nice bike Quiff. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh soon :D

[ThEGr33k]

I still maintain it has too many cylinders. :p

[Razor]

Very nice Quiff.

Very nice Quiff.

I want to know why they cant do a 1000 V-twin version... Surly it couldnt be that difficult.

Nice bike though :cool:

[Quiff Wichard]

just needs a tail tidy and a few bits-

but not too many

[Razor]

... and crash bungs!

[Quiff Wichard]

ha
I biddin on some on e bay now.
but they only £40 from r and G .

tail tidy- smaller plate
tank protector of my liking
stainless bar ends
MAYBE rim tape??

exhaust hangar and lose the footpegs.

thats it.. ! I do fancy a blue screen too but will see.
I know what i get like when i start throwin money at a bike and i dont want to remove it too far from standard.


however they just screw in . not liek the ones on the sv . I heard these bend the screw ones?.. am I wrong.

[neio79]

They did i think it was the SV1000FS or something, there was a fully faired SV1000 in GSXR colours out a few years ago.

[Fizzy Fish]

good to have you back on 2 wheels again Quiff!

and with a sexy bike like that, how are the girls ever going to resist you now??

:smt060

[northwind]

Good forks those :D Now just throw the rest of it away and bolt an SV to them and you're all good.

[plowsie]

Nice looking bike Quiff. Tis the model I want if I get one, they still sell them as new in that model, I tagged along to 2 guys and one was on a 750 in that shape on a 57 plate. V.nice Scorpion carbon can on it, sounded the nuts. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

[plowsie]

White undertray looks good on them :)

[ThEGr33k]

They did i think it was the SV1000FS or something, there was a fully faired SV1000 in GSXR colours out a few years ago.

It wasnt the same though. Those fairings on the gixxers are much nicer than the SV's imo. Only the engine (and the insurace...) that puts me off. Put 1000-1200cc V-twin in there and id have one... if the insurance companies would let me. There arnt any decent new 1000cc Jap V-twins now. shocking tbh.

[Quiff Wichard]

;) batting for other side now Quiff?




never say never


but NO..

celibate maybe

[northwind]

Celibate eh? Like a priest? So, you ARE batting for the other side?

[Quiff Wichard]

this has developed in to idle banter !! and my sex life.. or lack thereof

[ThEGr33k]

:(


You arn't alone unfortunately.

[Quiff Wichard]

oh i am sure i will make up for it somewhere n the future--

[Razor]

oh i am sure i will make up for it somewhere n the future--

True, you'll soon be exercising that right hand.

[ThEGr33k]

True, you'll soon be exercising that right hand.



:smt044

[kwak zzr]

True, you'll soon be exercising that right hand.

:smt073he could be left handed;)

[Lissa]

I'm right-handed but.................:p

Anyway, with being celibate now maybe he'd better become ambi-dextrous:D

[Quiff Wichard]

maybe i need both !!

[Quiff Wichard]

that's hands..


not both sexes !!

[mac608]

to get back on track - nice one Dave.

If it was 28 miles away how come it took you four hours to get home?

[Quiff Wichard]

cos it was so fabby-- i just had to ride and ride it..

[kwak zzr]

u put a piccy on yet matey? or is it sooooo fast ive missed it?
