[Scoobs]

Gonna miss my SV :cry:

No you won't! :twisted:

Nice one!

[DanDare]

Hang on minute, you've only just joined the SV forum and now your changing your bike.

Is it something we said? :? :D

[Jabba]

Is it something we said? :? :D

An offer she couldn't refuse, more likely :lol:


Welcome to the Dark Side and the "IL4 Massive" :wink:

[JUICY LUCY]

:lol: Hey you've all made me feel very welcome so I won't be leaving the forum, I'll just be Juicy Lucy on a spangly new GSX! You don't mind do you DanDare :wink:

[fizzwheel]

Gonna miss my SV :cry:

No you won't! :twisted:

Nice one!

What he said. Stealthy black as well. Good choice.

( You wont get called a chav like me then )

[JUICY LUCY]

Was thinking about having it delivered to the house, cos I've got a orrible feeling the sales guys and gals are gonna be watching me ride off - or fall off before getting outa the car park :oops:

[DanDare]

:lol: Hey you've all made me feel very welcome so I won't be leaving the forum, I'll just be Juicy Lucy on a spangly new GSX! You don't mind do you DanDare :wink:

Of course not, glad you staying around :D

Oh and good choice on bike! 8) 8) 8) You can join Fizz and his Gixxer gang. :D

[Jelster]

Hmmmm Gixxer..... You do like red lines don't you ? :lol: :lol:

Oh, and watch out for the voices, the ones that say "race him, race him"... They will come, I promise :lol:

Nice bike BTW.....

.

[Ceri JC]

Aftermarket GP style can (was trying to find pictures of the one I'm thinking of, but can't) on that would look absolutely spectacular.

[JUICY LUCY]

Hey if you can get a picture of the can you're on about, post it on this thread for me or send me a pm with image attachment. I've had a few people tell me how to tart my bike up.

I love her the way she is at the moment - she's perfect, but I would be interested in looking at the can you're on about!

I've had my stabilisers put on the bike :? well, a set of crash mushrooms. Heard so many horror stories of people dropping their new bikes on their first day :shock:

[Skip]

Nice bike! Welcome to the IL4 massive! :twisted: :lol:

[skidmarx]

I want one of these.....how much? Also, what's it like to ride in comparison to the SV? I'm getting on a bit and like me comforts, how does the riding position compare to the SV? Iron Maiden?

[JUICY LUCY]

Got £3000 for my SVS in part-ex for the GSX which costs £6799. I'm VERY impulsive so, believe it or not I haven't test ridden the bike YET!!!!!! Mind you, did the same with the SV and got on fine with it.

It's 8 kg lighter than the SVS and a little shorter. You're leaning more over the tank and the handlebars are slightly lower than my 650S so it's gonna be harder on the wrists. The bike feels smaller and more comfy tho between my legs (can't think of any other way to put that sorry :oops: ).

Take one for a test ride and see what you think?

[Anonymous]

congrats on the new bike. i get a shot of my new bike today, so excited. will probably wobble all over the place on the AR tomorrow. so give me lots of room peeps

[Halonic]

Take one for a test ride and see what you think?

I'm frankly scared to, because I know it will be good and I cant afford one.

plus thats exactly the colour I want :twisted:

Mmmm - I know where you're coming from, but i've only gotta look at a bike, sit on it and fall for it. I've now been BANNED for spending my spare time wandering round bike showrooms.

There goes the family holiday money again. Day trips at Theme Parks this year for us :shock:

[DanDare]

There goes the family holiday money again. Day trips at Theme Parks this year for us :shock:

Ride around Europe you mean!


Ahh, Nurburgring!

[Peter Henry]

Oh look another Gixxer 600 (yawns) :?

Only pulling yer leg,lovely bike your getting there. :P

[Moo]

Gonna miss my SV :cry:

No you won't! :twisted:

Nice one!

Yes she will. :lol:
But you have to move on.

[JUICY LUCY]

Thanx P.H. Didn't wanna go for the usual colour scheme cos I think its yawnie boring..... :wink:

[K]

Was thinking about having it delivered to the house, cos I've got a orrible feeling the sales guys and gals are gonna be watching me ride off - or fall off before getting outa the car park :oops:

Ooooh, I hate it when they do that - but it does give you a nice smug feeling when you smoothly ride out instead though. :wink:

You'll do fine. Nice machine.

I know what you mean about implusive buys though - that's how I ended up with my 'Blade. Tried to claim to the other half at the time that it 'just followed me home guv'!
Didn't work - but now I'm single and still have the 'Blade. :twisted:

[Balky001]

... feels smaller and more comfy tho between my legs

If I had a pound for everytime i heard that...................

Welcome to the ex-SV Gixxer club.

If you keep calling it a GSX people might think you have really gone mad and bough one of these.

http://upload4.postimage.org/560937/GSX1400.jpg (http://upload4.postimage.org/560937/photo_hosting.html)

The Gixxer looks lovely in black (or any colour really) - it takes a while to get used to using the extra 5k revs - you'll love it when you do!

[Filipe M.]

Beautiful machine, and in the best colour too! :D

[JUICY LUCY]

Well, it's so true and the best way of putting it don't you think???

ergonomic? well fitted? plush? Dont ask me, I lack both the genitalia required to replicate your particular seating experience, AND the bike upon which to perform this test!!! :P

[inevitable]

What a gorgeous bike... I'm megga jealous!

I looked at one like that and was ready to sign on the dotted line, then phoned my insurance company for a quote. Due to the fact that 2 bikes stolen in 6 months and being my first year with full licence, despite being a "sensible" 31 years old... they qouted me £2,700. :shock: :shock: :shock:

that's me screwed then

OH MY GOD! That's a hefty insurance quote. I only got my license September last year but have just over three years no claims on my car. My friend suggested H&R which you can do online and their quote was around £400 cos I could include my no claims for the car. Give it a go, see what quote they give u. If you're not happy with it, phone them and see if they can better the online quote! Let me know how you get on if you do it.

Well fitted - I like that one!

[Balky001]

Well I might have gone for something like 'the bike feels small and comfy' but where's the fun in that! :wink: :lol:

[inevitable]

That was H&R! with 3 years car no claims too!?

I think it's because I'd just registered a theft claim a week before... might phone them and see if they'll drop it on the basis of your quote though... that's ridiculously cheap

[JUICY LUCY]

To be honest with you I think your right. If you make a claim your insurance premiums rocket. Sorry mate. But it's worth giving them a call OR trying some other company.

Do they check up then to make sure you're telling the whole truth?????? - Just for the record - I HAVEN'T LIED TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY - HONEST GUV :D

Same as, though never had a bike nicked or made any claims. My downfall is that I live in London. Yamaha's O% on new bikes has been really tempting until I get a few quotes for 2006 R6:

Around £3000 for a new R6, fully comp :shock: or if I rent a a garage for about £35 a week, then I end up paying £2000 for the garage and the insurance goes down to £1000!

Only real way to do it without throwing thousands on insurance was to not cover it for theft and since I park it outside, I would have to be braindead to do that.

Sad thing is, I will always work in London so long as I live in the UK, so I don't see how the theft situation is ever going to get much better. :roll:

ps JUICY - I'm very jealous - Have fun!

Well you know what to do - Move to Barry, South Wales! Although I thought Barry had the highest crime rate in the UK :smt068

[Warthog]

hey whats so wrong with a gsx1400?? I thought they looked quite good and fun to go touring around on.... :oops:

[Balky001]

Oh, I see what you mean - could have worded that better. I meant gone mad as in stepping from a 650 twin to a big 1400 IL 4 might be a bit risky. Now that would not feel small between the thighs eithers!

Hey, you live in my surname, & I'm sure I'm not reponsible for the high crime rate!! :roll:

Nice bike by the way, especially in black, welcome to the IL4 brigade, just watch out the first time you take it over 10,000 rpm (brown trouser moment for me on my CBR!).

[speedygirl]

WOW... Juicy Lucy you are SO lucky 8) I'm thinking of eventually replacing my SV with one of those - saw one at the Beaulieu bike show and had to go and sit on it THREE times :oops: :oops: I was thinking as I'd only got my test in December last year I wouldn;t be able to get one for a while - but you did yours in September so that makes me feel better. Oh no - dangerous bike buying thoughts!! :D :shock:

Hope yoiu have loads of fun....

[JUICY LUCY]

[Peter Henry]

Lucy..Does yours have some silver banding on the front of the fairings on each side? I was stood looking at a black GSX today and it was done this way. Perhaps last year's model? 8)

[rigor]

Lucy, nice choice of bike .... not on my wish list .. no no not at all :P ;)

Anyway, if your still feeling flush after your low insurance quote, fit one of these babies =P~

£959 QUID!!! :shock:

[JakeRS]

The K6 comes in black/black, black/silver or the normal Gixer colours. Take a look at the Suzuki website.

Very nice, but I've broken enough pigs paying for my bike :? so I'll have to wait a while before I get that baby fitted!

[JUICY LUCY]

Mmm I know where you're coming from. Like I said I passed in September after just 4 days on a bike - ever! A week after passing I had knee surgery to both knees so was out of action for a couple of months. Riding in the winter gave me good experience tho.

I did think seriously (did I?) about getting the Gixer, but I thought if I didn't go for it I will never improve my game - but that's what makes me me! If you really wanna do something - DO IT!

If you cannot get your heart racing every now and then when you're out on the bike then ya might as well drive a car.

Got a feeling my heart will be doing more than racing when I get my leg over my Gixer for the first time :shock:

[Speedy]

Good choice! I've got the 750 version on order in.........................BLACK! :wink:

But I intend to keep my SV too! Mainly because they are SO different from one another,and I'm greedy!

Hmmmm,might change my name to Greedy. :-k

Ah I know thought about keeping my SV cos I bought her from new in September last year, but only way I could afford the Gixer was to part-x the SV.

You lucky guy having two bikes to play with. :wink:

[Speedy]

Trouble is garage space is at a premium as my Dad has 2 Harley's,a '31 Ford 'Hot-Rod',and then my SV in there too, HOPEFULLY [-o< that will get sold before the Gixxa arrives,otherwise one of them will have to stay at work!

They are SO different from one another,thats why I decided to keep the SV aswell.

If it's any consolation,I'll be strapping myself up with a loan for the Gixxa! But hey,you only live once! :wink:
