I got a blue one. Everyone has green ones and it's virtually impossible to see black bikes. The blue is very nice and i'm glad I chose it.

Just get one they're a bargain.

Best 2 uppy bikes I've had are a 97 bandit 1200 (but too heavy for me) or a 99 Honda Hornet

Lol...I like your style!

I have found an 08Gixxer6, new for £5995...decisions decisions.

I'm gonna have to wait to see what happens with my payout before I go any further though.

George whites will also give you a really annoying but expensive alarm and an R&G tail tidy with a barely visible (surely illegal) rear light fitted too. Ooh and front and back paddock stands and a double bubble.

Maybe that's an issue to you, maybe not but compared to the cost of fuel on my last car my SV pretty much pays for itself on the savings...

I've never had that from my SV. I consitently got 45 mpg.
I pretty much consistently get 55 mpg from my ZX6R, but it is an old one with carbs I don't think the newer ones get such good economy.

Haha...it wasn't a real life example! But I would be interested in where you can get a brand spanker of a 675 for £5.5k? That's Kwak (no not you) money! :p

Someone just mentioned a K8 600 for a smidgen under £6k...that's pretty cheap. I wouldn't expect you could get much below that!
