yep,

I test rode both before buying in jan 2007 and was offered 7k for either 2006 models. They were the only two bikes > 600cc I could get reasonable insurance quotes for. To be honest I would have went for the zx if insurance was 30/40% lower than the 750. I'd probably have the 10 over a '06 fireblade anyway.

So was that decision made purely on test ride, or do you have an inherent preference for the Gixxer?
As I have an inherent preference for the ZX and doubt I'll test ride either. I doubt I would be disappointed with the ZX, and can always sell it in the summer if I am.

It's easy Stu, buy the ZX to impress others, or the GSXR to impress yourself, simple choice.....


Cheers Mark.
