Over Crimbo my missus suggested, I get a physically bigger bike,She regrets saying it but she said it as according to her she`s never wrong.So ive looked at an Fz8 which is similar in size to an Fz1n.
It was only is last march i paid £4100 for a 3 month old bike.Now there`ll offer me 2800, All because suzuki are selling brand new gladius for 4k.
So do i change from gladys to a larger machine? Ive got 800 i can add so ive got 3600 to play with,YOUR CONSIDERED OPINIONS PLEASE.

You have a real aversion to capital letters don't you?

Buy three curvys. Track one, ride one, fiddle about with the other. Any left over cash build a garage or donate to the needy. Done.

its your money and your choice,but bear in mind at least in my part of the world the fz8 although most probably a perfectly good bike went down like a lead baloon,as people either bought the fz6 or the fz1 so you should be able to get it at a good price,also can you sell you bike for more private, and as to the fz8 what will it get used mostly for, because if you are going to use it at any thing like it is capable of then i would at least want the part faired or even fully faired

Get yourself at least a litre bike if you've ever had a desire for one. It might be the only chance you'll get once she who knows best realises what she has done.

Talking of litre bikes, biased i know but you go far wrong with a sprint st1050.

and who said suzuki are doing gladius for 4k,just had a look at local suzuki dealer,and suzuki GB website and ebay and they are going for £5594 OTR and £650 cashback, and i take it the £650 is off this price so about £4950 new

I was being lazy re:Capital letters and correct grammar.

Que, I edited it without reading it.

I had a 1400 before and miss the grunt,but there to heavy a 1ltr seem light enough.

I except that privately id get more.

A guy from J&S recons they are selling 2011 gladys`s for 4k
