    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.
    They did indeed try to warn me but I was sure I could resist...ha fuckin' ha, fat chance...

    Ahhh well, I don't spose I really need a house...

    The doodads? Yes. The K8 has some midrange...

    A kidney? I think they're too fucked, or I'd have a go...

    Looks like the house has to go instead. Open home today, 2.00pm...

    DEFINITELY DON'T take a sem fiddy for a ride unless you REALLY intend shelling out.
    All the good points of the six hundy, but with more power.

    THIS time, I will heed that advice Pussy. On account of I can't afford one - no other reason. EDIT: Actually, there IS another reason. Rego fees and ACC levies...I figure that in 70 years, I will make back in cheaper rego fees, the money I have to shell out for the gixxer...

    Oh and I have started fiddling money between accounts and have booked the touch up guys to fix a couple of paint scrapes on the SV...guess that means I'm doomed, huh?

    He couldn't afford one either, so he bought two...
