Congrats on the bike, there is an influx of K8s here now...just waiting for someone to buy something other than a white 600!

Yes it is a pearl white on the k8 shines in the sun loverly :-)

I think thegr33k has a touch of 2 pot syndrome, nevermind it'll soon pass mate ;-)

If I was to get myself a sportsbike, it would be the White K8, absolutely stunning bike. Havent seen one on the road yet but spent plenty of time drooling over them in the showrooms and bike shows.

7 months and only 1400 miles!!!! The bike was barely run in. I do that milage every 11 days.

Nice looking bike by the way much more individual than the blue and white. Enjoy it and try and put a few more miles on this one. LOL

I dont mind 4 pots tbh (dont tell anyone!) Id be happy with a V4... but there arnt any that I like being made. Maybe the new Aprilia but I wont be able to afford that. :(

I just think IL4's are too common and sound pretty dull, (unless they are screaming of the rev limiter, then they are ok) :( Change the firing order so it sounds like a V4 and I would have one. I still have to research if thats possible. :p

Not be individual for long. Looks like half of sv650.org are getting one. :rolleyes:

You really do need to get out and use it more though to make the investment viable... Unless you just happened to have a few grand hanging about. :cool:

130 miles a day :shock:
Have you considered living closer to where you need to be? ;)

And stop having a dig at someone in particular ;)

Not having a dig at you mate just to be clear each to their own. I'd have loved an RSV but the insurance would have been outragous. I'm building up slowly. I'll have a V-Twin again someday im sure. Love your Falco don't see any like yours around so can see why your so proud of it. And theres only 220 white GSXR600's in the uk im told so it'll be abit less common than the usual blue and white colour scheme. :cool:

Ha ha. I dont mind. I dont take anything people put on here to heart, its pretty easy going on the forums in my opinion.

I say V-twins are the best because they are my personal fav and I kind of been saying it for so long now... I might as well keep saying it.

Happy you like my Falco! I do its comfortable enough, fast enough, and handles very well for the road. Perhapse not as good as a SS600 for a track weapon but then its getting on a bit now :( Oh and it looks pretty good as well. :)

Only 220 White ones. That is rare... But with its popularity (its the best looking gixxer ive ever seen as standard, except maybe the exhaust) I wouldnt be supprised if it made it back.

I can remeber a White Suzuki racing (a good few years ago now) but I can remember thinking white wheels looked damn good. And looking at your bike I was very right. :cool:
