Default It's official. I've sold two bikes and got one in their place.

My fairly recently purchased '99 Fireblade and my old friend the '98 ZX6R have gone to be replaced with...

...an '05 GSX-R 750.

Lovely.

I've actually had it for nearly two months but have only just been able to ride it due to selling the others and of course our mighty weather. (Weekend warrior here). I will still see the last three bikes I sold because other Soho members have bought them. In fact I saw two of them tonight! Weird.

It's a lovely bike although the rather heavy steering damper will take some getting used to.

Bring on Spring.

Never ridden one, but it seems like an excellent choice for the road.

Congrats on your new bike Monkey!

Good to see that you've finally seen sense and bought a Gixxer

congrats on the 750 buddy, I had an srad 750 and absolutely raved about it to anyone who'd listen. It seemed quite a common 'mod' for the steering dampers to have been taken off the older bikes, so might it be worth trying the bike with it off for a couple of weeks once the better weather arrives? If it feels better off, leave it off - if you'd rather have it on, re-fit it and away you go
