Make sure you test ride a dayt 675 before you buy one. If your like me you might not be able to put up with the riding position. Ur ar$e is pritty much above your hands.

Saying that it does look better than my GSXR (if you dont mind wa**ers cramp everytime you ride it) :D

I sat on a 675 in Hein Gericke in Portsmouth the other day. The seat is really high and it pitches you to far forward. It must be murder on a long journey, plus my legs are not long enough to reach the floor properly.

I'm glad it swung the way of the ST.

Now how do I convince my wife? I have seen a 2005 model in Blue with 3600 miles on the clock for £4995.

If I could get £2000 + for my 2004 K3 S with about 12500 miles on the clock I would have only £2800 to £3000 to pay.

I went from the SV to the Sprint ST, I have put 12000 miles on it in 16 months and enjoy it greatly. Invest a couple of hundred pounds in getting the suspension set up(springs and oil) as this improves the accuracy of the handling and you have a bike that is all day comfortable with a good turn of speed and handling to exploit that:cheers:
