That is a nice looking bike. Why can't they make more sporty twins! I keep looking at the GSX, R6 even tghe CBR (not that the wife would let me buy one but hey!) but then I go out on the SV and site next to one of the above at the lights and think... NO I need the twin sound...

But still jealous!

I guess the 220 white 600s is just this year? If so...just putting it in perspective...each manufacturer sells about 2,000 SS600s a year (that's excluding the 750 for Suzuki in case there was any confusion). So it'll be rare...but not hen's teeth rare...if you see what I mean. Nice to not have one on every corner, though!

It'll be nice while it lasts, i've not seen too many k8's on the road so far though. But the reason its so popular is because its a great bike. Can't fault people for wanting the best they can!

Same here, I think I have seen one black 600/750, and that was parked up, but I see plenty of K6/K7s. The 750s sold fast from the dealers, though, so I don't know what's going on there!

Haven't seen ANY white 600s on the road yet :D

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
Aye, abit pitiful I know but I was deliberatly keeping it down so that a.) I didn't wipe it 'round a lampost and b.) dealer would be more inclined to sort me out a decent trade in price..

Just come back from a 100miler' around the valleys and have to say it's an absolute dream to ride. Planted to the floor, gives you loads of confidence and absolutely screams when you give it a squirt...

..plus.. I was parked up in Cardiff briefly and this absolutely mint blonde lass walked past whilst i was standing next to it and said "Mmmmm nice bike mate".

Every reason signed sealed and delivered right there. :cheers:
