Im in the running for a new bike after getting rid of the KTM

Has any one ridden both gsxr 1000 k6 and gsxr 1000 k8 and whats peoples opinions on both bikes.

my budget is around £6000

I can pick up a k8 for around £5000 with nice exhausts and decent millage around 5k-11k on the clock. leaving £1000 for an alarm (insurance) and a nitron rear shock and some fork spring and maybe at a push some ohlins fork valves

or i can get a k6 for around £3500 to £4250 with decent exhaust and decent millage, leaving £2000 ish to spend on suspension and other bits, with my connections i could get a set of ohlins forks and rear shock for not far off that price

opinion please ?
