You can get a discount ona K8 if you don't want those goodies GW offers...

I've heard of prices of £7250 or thereabouts for a K8 750 in the last month or so, I'm sure £7400 is do-able.

But if you think the bits you get from GW are worth it, then you've got a £6200 bike not an £8200 bike? You can also try to sell on the bits you get with it if you don't like/want them...

If you can find any K7s they are likely to be pretty cheap though. They were being sold off at around £7000 (advertised) when the K8 was about to be released, they may be a tad less now, plus a bit of bargaining....

That's for unregistered bikes so would be an 08 plate...

Its pointless full stop IMHO, whether you ride in the wet or not.

Yeah, it is pointless, the power delivery is so soft you would have to be SO ham fisted for it to ever be worthwhile. Even then...

But, it's good for a laugh, I tried it out once lol, C mode is quite slow actually! B is supposed to be around the same as the GSX-R 600 (I could see that).

Just been into Streetbike. Theyve got some blue & white K7's at ?7.5k, which is expensive, but they'll want to get shot so Im sure a deal could be done
