Been after switching to a new bike for ages now but held back as i basically couldn't decide what to go for, sportsbike, tourer or dig out my peep-hole leather chaps and get a cruiser.
After checking out a billion bikes and getting a taster on track (and finding out i want to do much more track stuff) the one i've finally plumped for is the GSX-R 750.
Spent the last couple of weeks finding the best deal and am all set tomorrow to go and sign for a brand spanking 0 mile Gixxer.
People keep telling though that i'm nuts to buy at this time of year and why not wait until March ang get a 10 reg.
Pros: This bike will be a keeper so the reg doesn't bother me that much, not much difference between the K9/K10 bike that i'm aware of? Getting a good deal as the VAT saving applies to this bike so in March i'd be paying substantially more for the same bike. If i buy the bike now, i get the bike now
Will be a nice Xmas gift from me to me.
Cons: Rubbish weather, am i going to get much riding time in before March? Its Blue/White (i'd fancied black but the blue/white has grown on me and it the 'proper' Gixxer colour so not much of a minus point - looks lovely) Not many new Gixxer 750's left in the UK now and Suzuki are not going to have any more till March.
Does anyone reckon i'm stupid for buying now? Or would you sign tomorrow?
