i didn't buy one just wanted a good old nose the local stealer was closed but i found one at CMC Bikes in cannock, £5999 for a 07 model with 1700miles on the clock, nice bike and i'll prob have one but i'm torn between that and the gsxr 600/750? the gixer k7 is loverly but i cant quite get my head round the look of the k8 model? i think the 675 wins hands down in the looks department.

Funny u should say that mate!

the GSX-R 750 is what i want next, i love the K6/K7 but like u im not sure about the K8.

For a start, i just cant really bring myself to like the eagle shaped lights and that exhaust is just minging!! (although i know it could be changed)

I went down to have another look at them in the flesh today, and it just feels so light, manageable and racy compared to the SV (obviously), and the one thing i do like is the 3 different engine maps that u can change like on its bigger brother, the 1000.

mmmm, when to put a deposit down?!!

Defo wont be buying from SW Superbikes though as their bikes seem sooooo overpriced!!

I was going to ride out to the trumpet dealer in Bournemouth yesterday, but having a positive bank balance I thought it might be a bad idea.
