Go and find a shop that does then, If you're not sure what you want then you need to ride it first. Your about to part with a large sum of cash given the curernt economic climate I would have thought they'd want your business...

I was interested in the fazer though as yamaha are doing amazing finance deals at the moment with 3.5 years 0% on pretty much their entire range.
dude, RC8 or 675

Your having a laugh. You mean it might just about keep up with a SV650? No way does a Z4 do 0-100 in under 10 seconds!

I cant find the 0-100 times of the Z4 M, but on this page the Audi RS2 Avant does 0-60 the same as the Z4 M (4.8 seconds) and goes onto do 100 in 13.1 seconds. Even the SV should get there faster, the SV 650 does it in ~10 seconds. A SS600 does 100 in about 7-7.5 seconds... Obviosly the only chance the Z4 M has is when the speeds get into the 110+ vs a SV and it wont catch a SS600+. Any SS would demolish this car in a steight line.

What you say about the corners however is quite true... but lets face it most of them are posers who cant drive.


Not opening a can of worms I just couldnt let that pass. Sorry...

Yes dont buy a bike for that much money without riding it. You have a nice bike so make sure you do want to change... I cant really say much more though as I bought my falco with no test ride. But then for the money it was WELL worth it

BTW you could streight swap the SV for a Falco... infact you could make money on the change! . Save up for any spares you might need (if you drop it... It wont brake im sure.) Ok ill stop the SL1000 advertising there.
