Nice looking bike, hope you sell.

Or, to put it another way, "bump".
Hang on, when did this move from Bikes For Sale to Idle Banter?
Poxy moderators.

It does say the 'For Sale' Section is for SV related stuff only.

Hmm. Maybe I didn't post it there in the first place then.
I stand by my comment about moderators though ;)

Why - because you can't read?
No, because I have a childish anti-authoritarian streak a mile wide.

A pedant could argue that as sports-oriented Suzukis sharing some common components with the SV (not to mention the popularity of GSX-R front end swaps), the GSX-R family are 'related' to the SV. ;)

Sure. The SV is the GSXR's poor retarded cousin.

Just as Ogden is a Chimps poor, retarded cousin :P

Now now, no need for personal insults.

I agree - but as it was an observation rather than an insult, oh hater of SV's :)
Although I will retract it - but only to substitute "Marmot" for Chimp :twisted: :smt008 :twisted:
That's more like it. Besides, your SV don't half look like a Kawasaki.
And, to get this back on topic, 3800 quid. Roll up, roll up! 3800 quid!

Actually, my SV looks a lot like an SV - one with all the front plastics broken, but still an SV :)
And if I had 3800 quid................

The Serpentine may be freezing over, and the Fountains in Trafalgar Square may indeed be solid.

Oh, thats ok, I'll just stop going to Soho and won't attend any more annual rideouts :takeabow:

I managed to insure it OK with 1 year's NCB, 6 (then 9, damn you unmarked car) points and a CD10.
Worst you can do is get a quote for it. H&R and Motorcycle Direct tend to be quite competitive.
i thought you wernt entirely sure you wanted to sell?
If somebody wanted to buy it, that might help me make up my mind.
where is it , wheres the pix , do you want to swap for ZX6R ? lovely condition, well looked after, might chuck in a few hundred to ease your pain....:cool:
For location and pics, see the first post in this topic. As to a swap, no thanks - I'm selling it so I can replace it with a thou, a 600's not really moving in the right direction.

Really nice, if I had £3800 I'd be tempted to trade it for that!
At whoever said it was really comfy- is that true? I always imagined them to be like riding an sv with a bad back, broken wrists and cramp in your calves....but worth it ofcourse

They are surprisingly comfy (if you want agony, try a camping trip on an RGV. Ouch) - I've taken it to France and Belgium with no problems. If anything it's marginally more comfortable than the SV I had before it, certainly on the wrists.

You couldn't be further from the truth if you tried. Gixers are traditionally one of the most comfortable bikes in existence. When I had my GSXR1000 K1 I could spend all day riding it and still feel fresh as a daisy when I got off. The first time I ever rode it I went from Belfast to Bedford and was totally unfazed by the riding position.
My daughter did 34,000 miles on her GSXR600 K6 in 18 months; she bought the bike because it was so comfortable when she test rode one. She's now got a 600 K8 and says the same about that.
Ooo 750 mmmm that would be very nice but alas I shall have to pass at this juncture in time

Cheers, that's surprising - I'll keep that in the back of my mind.
Does anyone know anything about kwak zx6rs? When I'm ready for a beastlyer bike and can bare to stray from the v-twin it's going to be a toss up between a gixxer and a zx6.

Ahhh you're a few months too early!!!
I think i'll be in a position to buy in may :D
I expected a bike of that age/milage to be going for more - but then i'm thinking of dealership prices.

I had a K2 600 which I could ride all day in comfort (the SV gave me dead bumcheek ache after 3 or 4 hours). The K6 I have now isn't as comfy but Ogden's K4/K5 is lovely. £3800 is a fair price, hope you sell it soon

UKI - get lost !!
Dave - yea onlt £12 ,, was 20 odd.! but interest poor and my ISA has sufffered since I lost my job! .. it pays me for treats. like bread and milk !

I am always quite impressed by the seating position on gsxr750's, its not as racey as the 600. feels quite comfy...bit more racey than the SV, but not a stupid amount. And sooo light.

That's the lovely thing about the 750 - there isn't a suitable race class for it anymore so it doesn't have to try to be the sportiest thing around. It's just a very, very good road bike.
Wouldn't say it's particularly light though - compared to the other toy in the garage it feels like it's made of solid lead! ;)

I'm confused, I'm pretty sure (at least on later GSX-Rs) that the 600 and 750 have the same dimensions....very little differences at all between the bikes...
