Given the keys back now but my lust for something faster has grown somewhat!

I have just spent the last half hour looking for GSXR deals although worryingly I started looking at R1's of the same age and they seem to strart from £2500......mind you my insurance would doubtless be the same.

I wish I knew someone who would lend me a GSXR 600 now!

When I was 18 my trusty steed was a 250 x7 and I loved it.That was until my cousin gave me a go on his 1300 Kwak.Then I realised I still loved it.Although the Kwak was sooooo fast,it weighed as much as a small car and scared me to bits.Maybe I was just being a pussy lol.
Whats it to be then,the Suz or the Yam?

I used to commute from Heathrow to Brick Lane on my K4 GSXR600 every day, it was always fun.

The only problem is that you haven't ridden a bike like to experience "the voices".

Fizz, tell him about the "the voices"...




They whisper things like "race it, race it!" "Make sure you beat the Porsche off the lights" and "You can catch that bike in front".....

Ah the voices, they speak to me. :twisted:

Re: A go on an R1 - Should I?
