Confused, choosing bikes and a general rant

OK, I might sound like I am undecided, I have ranted over an SV 1000, a Ducati S4R and a Z1000, even looking at a 749 Hybrid

I have ridden a Z1000 and an SV 1000, I have played about with a GSXR 750 and a 600!

Being a shortares, I cannot manage an Aprillia Mille

Anyway, my mind is about made up with a Z1000, until!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clay Cross have kicked me in the scrotum, I was offered today £2100 for a 2003 curvy with 14k against a 7.4k Kwak although they were trying to sell an x plate SV for £2895 with 16k on the clock.

OK they have to make a living, but even bike riders have to eat.

I have to see some figures from my local man about px on an SV for a 2005 Z1000 with 100 miles on it.

I don't see Clay Cross getting my business as they seem to be getting the best of both worlds.

£6999 - £2100 = a big chunk of money

I can't remember the exact figure, but I believe George Whites are doing the Z1000 for significantly less than that at the moment.

What does a 749 Hybrid look like

I've just got a letter from George White(bought my 1000 from them).
Apparently , they can do Z1000A6 for £5999 but priviledged customers ie me can get an extra £500 off.

Probably worth having a look at them.

Cheers

Yeah, that's where I read it; £5499 for me, too. With 3 years interest free finance on it too, a black one is very, very tempting. I cannot afford it and I cannot afford the insurance. I just have to keep on saying that to myself repeatedly...

I was offered £2700 trade in on my 9 months old K5 SVS, and it looks just like it rolled out the showroom, so your offer was pretty reasonable...

stop talking about z1000 prices, You're making me cry

Brother brought a Z1000 just under a year ago from KJM (wigan or somewhere like that) £5.799 canadian import, but fully converted to uk spec.

Cheers Mark.

SORRY :P

I thought the Z1000 was retailing at £7300 and the Z750 was in the 5k area.

I dont know what a 749 Hybrid looks like either, but On yer bike have got 12 of them

yeah those are the retails, seen quite a few places doing the thousand for 5999 tho or 5499 for an import... not looked at the 750 prices but seen a few in dealers at around 5k

I keep looking on Autotrader at Z1000s - they are down to £4500 for an early one if you look hard enough.... pending a test ride it will definitely be my next bike... nothing else stirs my soul quite like it!
