For location and pics, see the first post in this topic. As to a swap, no thanks - I'm selling it so I can replace it with a thou, a 600's not really moving in the right direction.

Really nice, if I had £3800 I'd be tempted to trade it for that!

At whoever said it was really comfy- is that true? I always imagined them to be like riding an sv with a bad back, broken wrists and cramp in your calves....but worth it ofcourse

They are surprisingly comfy (if you want agony, try a camping trip on an RGV. Ouch) - I've taken it to France and Belgium with no problems. If anything it's marginally more comfortable than the SV I had before it, certainly on the wrists.

You couldn't be further from the truth if you tried. Gixers are traditionally one of the most comfortable bikes in existence. When I had my GSXR1000 K1 I could spend all day riding it and still feel fresh as a daisy when I got off. The first time I ever rode it I went from Belfast to Bedford and was totally unfazed by the riding position.

My daughter did 34,000 miles on her GSXR600 K6 in 18 months; she bought the bike because it was so comfortable when she test rode one. She's now got a 600 K8 and says the same about that.

Cheers, that's surprising - I'll keep that in the back of my mind.
Does anyone know anything about kwak zx6rs? When I'm ready for a beastlyer bike and can bare to stray from the v-twin it's going to be a toss up between a gixxer and a zx6.

Ahhh you're a few months too early!!!

I think i'll be in a position to buy in may

I expected a bike of that age/milage to be going for more - but then i'm thinking of dealership prices.
