A flash of lightning
Nice write up, slofox. It's a shame you did not have the opportunity to push it above 10.000 rpm. Those bikes are built for high revs. I have had my baby for just over a year now and when I want an injection of adrenalin I give it full throttle at over 10.000... Just the sound is absolutely awesome... Of course these bikes handle just great and smoothly surfaced reasonably open twisties are fantastic. Try an R6 if you ever have the chance...
Ride fast or be last.

I'd hardly say I'm biased but the GSXR will not disappoint.
4 days, 3 thousand k's and most of a set of pilot powers convinced me of this all over the north island convinced me of this.
and you don't need to loose your lisence to enjoy it either!

Emachizzit over there?
The K9 600 is going for $11500 on the road, here, atm. (the 750 is $13500, buggritt!....)

The particular one I looked at is marked at $13999. But it is with a dealer. A similar bike - same year and km's - is available in Wellington at $10,500.Originally Posted by SPman
I'd like the dealer's bike at the private seller's price...

STEVE!
Dont buy a gixxer. every other cnut has one.
Be slightly different and buy the superior Yamaha or Honda.

No, every cunt's got a Harley or Ducati these days. Been to a motorcycle rally recently..???
STEVE!
Thats because most of the Gixxer riders are too soft to go a rally.
Havent seen many at the 'Kiwi in the last 3 years... along with the other few thousand KB members...

Asked them for a "ridiculously generous offer" on that bike this morning...I could almost do it if i could find a spare two grand lying around somewhere...

Go look through the garage/garden shed and chuck some of that stuff you'll use "one day" on trademe. People will buy just about anything! Especially if it's got novelty value. Got an old lawnmower? Push it through the front doors of ACC, eat some carpet, get yourself on the news saying you are helping with their cuts - VOILA... it's worth a couple of thou.

what will they trade your sv for. I like the gsxr,s im tossing up weather to get a new 600 or a new sv1000.
Grumpy Old Bastard
AAugh...I am debating whether to just go get the bike or whether I should "be sensible" and not spend the money that really, I don't have to spare...the bank would probably kill me if they found out I was buying more motorbikes...
Hate it when that happens...

Bastard bike manufacturers with their tempting bikes!
I say if you are still thinking about it now then you should really think about it.
Does your bike still feel like an "old hack"? (I think that's what you called it )
Grumpy Old Bastard
Yes. I have hardly ridden it since I got on that little vixen of a gixxer...

So i guess your looking at the '08 gsxr at Boyd. Just curious if you have seen the '07 model just down the road Waikato Yamaha for 2 grand less and only 1000km more on the clock...
Forum whore
They tried to warn you... but ooooh nooooo, it's just a harmless little gixxer....
Don't worry, it was lust at first sight when I first hopped on one at a shop too.
My first thought after riding it - is that it made my SV1000 feel like a agricultural tractor in comparison.
