Looking at a new bike

Need I say what I think?

My extra wide ar$e and long legs must compensate for it somehow on my rr. Mind you it's an 08 model and built for more comfort apparently. Wish I could fit a gixxer....just too small for me and I look ridiculous.

Yep tends to be top of the pile this year...but that's of the 600s. I suspect if you put it up against the 750 (which isn't a fair fight anyway) the flexibility of the 750 engine would far outweigh the smaller differences between all the SS600s in terms of handling, engine, etc. Only some things you can't get past, e.g. if you can fit it comfortably (as comfortably as a SS600 lets you). I'd expect that to be a deal breaker on any bike...

Bah. My advice is to get out and try the bikes and see what you like.

Can we please putthis somewhere for all the none believers to see.
Fizz knows his bikes

How about a Falco?

i would look at 1, but theres not many garages round here (suzuki + honda) that i know of anyway, and before you say it i would do stuff myself but am too scared of breaking things atm! so just want piece of mind knowing i can get someone who knows what there doing to fix it quickly! lol
