LOL oh go on then I will buy you one too, which colour?

I have had a few stresses last few months and money being the biggy, few things in my life at mo are looking better apart from the money so if I am gonna worry I may as well really worry but have something to smile about at the same time.

I feel like this today but tomorrow could be a different story .... if only I could drive now I would be at DK's.

How much did you ride the SV?

Just go for a really long test ride to make sure you are happy before getting in debt.
IME the R6 was a bit tall for me. It was way more exciting than a GSXR 750 or CBR600RR. You would probably ride it faster than an R1 so that argument about mush is probably the wrong way round.
If you like it, I wish you well

Not much I had the SV Aug 06, passed my test Nov 06 and rode it until Aug 22nd 07 when I had my off. Never rode since due to my arm not being fixed. Got max of 1,500 miles in . Had operation now so 6 weeks time I may be able to get back on 2 wheels !

My biggest gripe is I am a short ar$e and the SV riding position hurt my wrists and back, so the R6, I think will be worse.

But I like them and there are not that many tiny sexy bikes that will suit me. Arggghhhh advice needed !!!!

Have you sat on an R6? The seat height is very tall.

Yeah sat on it without my boots on and I was tip toes so I'd be ok with the extra height my Daytonas give me..... about the same as the SV I'd think.

If I can get to DK's I will buy if I can't then I won't, fate will have a hand ..... shame I am going to Stoke with a girlfriend this afternoon, hope she will refuse to take me LOL (she not a biker) else I could be even more financially challenged this afternoon
