    i just brought a 98 zx9r. Even though I am really quite shit at wheelies the biek does all the work for me. Really nice to ride quick too. So light and soooo much power. Had a 600F before this one so big change.

    I doubt you could get a 98 zx9r for 5k would you mate?

    Likewise with a TL, they are still fetching 7k + ...........

    Ya might have to fork out a little more coin to get the machine you desire.
    My money would be a TL or VTR, and actually there are VTR's out there that are reasonably priced too.........

    According to the latest bike trader you may be better off with an SV.......had a chuckle when i saw there selling 99 TLSs for more than 2003/4 SVs

    No trick not with the HP it had when i owned it even standard it was easy Everything worked on the bike as it did when sold , Suspenion set up was good for over 200k cornering .
