Where to look for a GSXR-750 K6 + thoughts?
Hi there,
So I've the SV650 for over a year now and as the weather starts to (slowly) get warmer I am toying with the idea of upgrading. I think the only bike which has caught my eye and is worthy of a switch from the SV is the GSXR-750 K6 (black). I have two questions: Where should I be looking for one, other than Ebay and pistonheads? Does anyone have one, and if so, any thoughts on the bike? |

Have a look on www.gixerjunkies.com they have a for sale section on there.
I have a K5, have a search for some of my posts on the subject. In short you wont be disappointed !

Have a go on a CBR600rr back to back with the gixxer. I very nearly got the latter but the CBR just swung it, there's very little between the two though.

I have the K7 - which is the same as the K6. Simply does everything brilliantly. Good brakes, good suspension and a boot load of power. The old "SV650 has more low down grunt" argument is bollox - the 750 pulls hard from the bottom and then goes berserk at the top. Only thing I've noticed is that on cold days filtering for a long time is hard work - I'm assuming this is because the oil in the steering damper is more viscous. |
