It is a good deal. And im only 6 months off my full licence.

What would be a better buy for myself? A normal gsxr1000 k7 with leo vince pipes and 9000kms on the clock ($13k), or a special edition gsxr1000 k7 with standard pipes and 30000kms on the clock ($12k).

Learn to ride properly before getting a bike that has more horsepower than you know how to handle - and get your full licence before you upgrade.

Ive taken that into consideration and thats why i want a k7 thou. It has the power modes and i can easily just put it into '600 mode' until im ready to go upto the next step, that way i can teach myself different power, but on the same bike. I see it as the best learning curve to get upto a thou with confidence.

But in saying that theres an awesome 05 zx6r that i want too. So it just depends on whether i sell my bike soon or not.

None, dump the Jappas and go Triumph!!!

675 or 955 Tonas.

But I would say that.
But then again I'm fucked in the head according to the domestic help (wife).

But then again if you really, really, really, have to go Jappa.............R1.
