That's why I'm testing most of the ones that Iceberg mentioned above.

Its focused on one thing, there are others that do the same equally as good.

R6, R1, Daytona, Speed/street triple, ZX6 etc etc

All im saying is they are bit common, however good they are

It is (as far as my opinion goes) the best bike I could find that met my requirements. So yes, I would say it is the best bike around. If it wasn't I would not have bought it.

Feck me!

Just phoned the insurance up to see how much to swap to a 750....

If I stay with my current policy it's an additional £500 on a policy that runs until February.

If I take the hit on that policy and take out a new one it would be £900 for a year!

This might not be happening......yet.

Shop around Tom, go on all the comparison sites, they differ a lot.

My first bike in 2 years since the crash so didn't think it was a good idea. But seeing as I'm more confident on a CBR than the SV ( although I'm alot better now ) it might have been a good idea!
