Goodbye to my SV in 1 week
I'm buying a 2006 K6 GSXR 600 and taking delivery next Saturday :)
My SV has been superb and I have loved every minute of owning and riding it. However, I need a new tyre and it needs a service very soon. This will equate to a min of ?250 so I'd rather spend it on a bike I'm going to keep for 2+ years and so I've chosen a Gixer 600. Now I need to flog off my radiator grill, screen and pod (candy blue) from my SV650 K6 naked. :) |

Congrats, any pics, how much did you get it for in the end? Was the SV p/x'd?

Thanks muffles :)
I let my brother test ride it as he has many years of experience of riding and fixing bikes. He says it goes like a bat out of hell (not as fast as his 1000cc though ;)) Getting it from Castles (Castleford) for a little over ?5k with 5k mls. Got the restrictor kit foc (?200 saving) One previous owner and she works in the dealers, so I have the full info on it. It has a cat 1 alarm and the tyres etc are superb. Cant wait to ride her for myself :) It looks and sounds awesome :D http://pictures.autotrader.co.uk/ATD...a?id=702806109 http://pictures.autotrader.co.uk/ATD...a?id=702806106 |

Looks nice - make sure you get the pillion seat with it too (comes with both seat and cowl as new, it's not an optional extra). Tail tidy - good essential item there too :D

Cheers, the seat is in the shop.
I'm sure I'll feel like a beginner when I get it (was hoping to collect it early in the morning but its gonna be later in the afternoon) and feel self-conscious. However, I'll soon get used to it. The thing even has a display built into the clocks showing the gear you are in!! I am sure I will miss the SV and its super sounding engine and grunt but this is the sort of bike I just yearn for :) |

That oil is so expensive and the mess it makes changing it!! ;) I did p/x the bike and actually had some equity towards the replacement. Using some savings means I don't pay those greedy banks interest too ;) |
