    It's a very nice bike to ride. From memory it's a standard GSXR front end with an Ohlins in the back.

    Hey, thanks for those thoughts I really appreciate it, trying to get people to see what you are offering is a good deal is tough but I really like this bike and really glad someone can see it is good as well.
    If I could keep my new project going and not sell I would, but putting a 600 on track is proving a little more expensive than I budgeted!!

    No problem. It was great to ride at the track. No bad habits and well set up (Shaun knows what he's doing and the suspension components were never changed since then). The sag, compression and rebound were fiddled by the owners but that's it.

    Only problem was Shaun's arse is too close to the ground so he had the pegs jacked way up and kept cramping others legs. Easy to fix though.

    NO MT-- you just needed to take some HTFU pills is all.
    Mind you I aint much taller than shaun.
    But anyhoo.
    Andy You are underselling the bike. Its a fantastic start package into F3
    In the right hands at club level it'll be right up the pointy end AS IT STANDS.
    I'd even go so far as to say with about 1k spent on it it would be a top ten finisher in the nats
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Thanks

    Guys, thanks is all I can say.

    There are quite a few go fast bits for SV's on trademe at the moment so someone with a bit of thought could really turn this into a weapon. Till then I'll keep on tinkering to keep it well maintained and updated.

    Had a chat with Robert at CKT yesterday, looks like new front springs to suit a rider of 85kgs and updated rear shock valving is on the way.
    Actually quite looking forward to riding it again at Manfield for Round 6

    Ha brilliant, : not as much pain as buying our new house is causing my plans of putting 2 600's on the track, got to sell the SV otherwise the missus rides my R6 till her bike is built and that takes cash. Yes I promised that she could have the R6 till I built her bike up from a write off

    Spent yesterday in the garage and have now fitted the suspension back in after its trip to CKT, new springs front and rear and she is looking very sweet. Brakes are serviced and ready to roll.
    Keen to move it to a new home although I will miss it, a whole load easier to work on than the project I have, I need smaller hands!
    I've posted up a whole load more photos on TradeMe.
