A bit, yes. Still want a new SS600 though. Damn you all with your talk of new bikes.

Can't you sell & buy well at no cost? You said you got a good deal buying the Zed.

I liked your approach with the Boss when you bought the Zed.

Well I bought for £4 and can sell as it is for about £4'500. I can pick up a good cond' 2005/2006 ZX6R for about £4 - £4.5k, so should not have to put my hand in my pocket too much. The only thing is that the Zed would have depreciated another year and probably got another 3000 miles on the clock but if I keep it tidy should still fetch about £3'500 - £4k. I'm working on getting rid of it sooner but I found out my mate has not settled the finance anyway, so in reality that dictates when I can sell it as he will need another 6- 8 months to clear it. If it was clear now, I would have had a ZX6R already got bored of it and traded it for a ZX10 already and probably lost my licence.

i bet if you had a ss600 you would miss the sound of the v-twin.

V Twins do sound good, but when the SS600 pulls his arms out of their sockets there would be no going back!

i guess that's why the triple was invented: best of both worlds!

They are just far too common these days!

Seriously, I LOVE the look of it but when ridden hard they can seem a little wobbly (the windblast at 160 is interesting). I have been riding my Hornet more for fun lately and I feel that as a naked that bike is probably almost as good. Okay it's lacking midrange and top end on the Zed but it's still heaps of fun! So I ask myself why do I need 2 naked bikes? So I have had a look about and think I will go for a ZX-6R next, the 2006 model. Might be this year maybe next, I miss that feeling from a supersports.

BUY A 2006 R6, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TOO

Hmmh, looks nice but I've never liked them. The one I rode (1999) was really twitchy. Plus they don't do it in green.
