Daytona is NU15, but for some reason when i was looking at bikes i got identical quotes for a 2008 Daytona and a K6/K7 GSXR750

Go to another dealer mate - on Autotrader you can see K8 GSXR's for £6.2k. You should be able to get a K7 for a fair bit cheaper than that. George White's are doing the 08 Kwak ZX-6R for £5500, might be worth a test ride?

Or £1 down and 42 months interest-free on a K8 GSXR-1000?

There's definitely deals to be had at the mo

Last years Zx6R, brand new on an '09' plate from kawasaki direct in Watford.

£5999 on the road, with three years interest free credit. Choice of colours too!

I have bought four bikes from them now. Great place to deal with.

From what I've seen that is a real bargain for the 675 and the complete opposite for the GSX-R and SV. Somewhere out there, someone else is posting about a bargain 09-plate K8 GSX-R 600 up for £5k vs a 675 up for £7k...

i would have said a VFR as they are a little better designed with pillions and comfort in mind. I cant vouch for the newer ones but my mate's old zx6-r (2001) was ver comfortable for both and he even took it touring for a week in south of france through the mountains with nothing but praise for it.

Daytona 955i. The riding position is way less aggressive than the 675. Also not too high on the insurance.
