Coming to a soho meet near you...

Me!

And my new bike.

I'll be the first to tell you that a 600 would do what I wanted from a bike as well as this one would. However...I've had a 600 before...and a 750...and it only seemed like natural progression. I was just getting into biking in 2001 when this bike was first made and I remember it stealing the thunder from all the competition. (R1, ZX-9R, Fireblade) I can't reach the limits of 600. I was nearly reaching the limits of my 500 a few years ago but not quite. I'm really quite a sedate rider but I wanted effortless acceleration in a sexy package.

Only a smidgen over 8k miles 2002 bordering on 2003 model, absolutely mint condition and a steal at £2750. Having moved to London it's a summer use only toy - I love close to a tube station to take me to work, so why bother? I've done enough riding in the wet to last me a lifetime.

Power is just ace. I wanted a bike that I really had to respect the throttle on. And I found it. I was originally after an SP1 but there aren't many cheap ones on the market at the moment so the next best thing was the gsxr.

Looks nice, and slightly tidier than your old SRAD 600

That'll last about a week in London before its nicked! I only say a week as its not brand new.

It stole the thunder of the R1? I was not aware of that.

It's probably already BEEn stolen, the bikes garaged 1km away from my current place.

Going to get a tracker unit and move to a place with a garage soon.

Nice bike!

and another joins the gixxer fold...

this one needs to be taken on the ring
