Well I had plans of cleaning servicing and fettling before I took her out for a rideout but the weather today changed my mind. Did 130ish miles. From Leicester, Oakham, Uppingham, Harborough to Pitsford Water in Northampton back down the A508 and then A50 to Blaby to My Mum and Dads for tea! Great day and great ride.
Initial thought of the bike are: Awesome. Easily more nimble and flickable than the SV650 and enough power to keep up with SV1k and 1200 Morini. I think I've made a wise choice switching to the Gixxer. The only downside is Motorways are gonna be a high revving chore ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by paiste; 17-04-11 at 09:34 PM. |

I actually find it more comfortable than the thou! I'm sure I look like I'm riding a toy though.

Definitely not underpowered! Just need to adjust from lazy VTwins. It's way better than I'll ever be.

Nice choice. Is it a K5 or K4? Notice it's on an 07 plate too?

K4. Yeah, 07 plate. Must've been new old stock.

To be honest I don't know the difference between k4 and k5. I'm only going on what it states in the service book.
