Cool ill make sure im at BP at about 8:30 just in case.And i wont be taking the hornet 919 either ,cutting a long story short the hornet's engine block cracked so i took it back and said na no quick fixes ill get something else so i now ended up with a mint near new Suzuki gsx600f (with some added extras which ill show off tomorrow) and boy is it nice might even compete with the ducati's exhaust

Cya all tomorrow guys

Holy crap! Cracked block is a bit rude!! You dont hear of that happening every day.

yea and they didnt have any replacements but at that point i was swearing against hornets for life so i thought ill try a 2005 gsx600f katana bloody nice ,completly different ride style but from todays experience good for touring and commuteing and capable of hitting high speeds fast

It's a Suzuki too - so it won't break.

yea lets hope not ,its a big change to,something interesting ,nice exhaust note to with the scorpian pipe on it (its shines) so tomorrow is going to be the first major ride and will give me a good indication of its ups and downs

Bugger coz there an R6 for sale on here at the moment too

[banditrider]

So you've actually bought it?

I rode one a couple of years ago when the Blue Bandito was looking for his 2nd bike (ended up with the 750F instead - dead now) and was quite surprised how well it went. Didn't have to be too hard on it to get it to go - nice little sport-tourer.

yea i think that those bikes would be a waste on me as im not into fast acceleration and sstuff more into touring and just sitting at spees

yep brought it today from phil turnbulls,i think i got myself a pretty good deal to looked at the 750 but mmmm looked at the 500 which was cheap but looked weird, had the cool new suzuki gsx headlight cluster setup but also blocky fairing,the 600 has only done 20,000kms and is very comfy and i thought was the best value for money.
