Now that I own a car...I kind of don't really need a practical bike anymore!

So im thinking of chopping in the DL650 and getting myself another GSX-R 600 (k7).
Because I miss my old one so much!

Went and had a look at a bike today at castledines, I think in the next couple of weeks I might be the owner of a 12 plate gsxr 600...

Only issue is the 750 costs £400 more to insure than the 600 of the same year!
And Adam at castldine's doesn't have any 2nd hand 750 availible.

The 600 im looking at is a black ones with 4k miles on it. 6 months old.

Sorry but i think the new GSXR600 is a bit of a minger! I love it all apart from the front. Much prefer the older 07/08/09 models

Dont get me wrong the k7 looks better and if I could buy my old bike back I would.
But the 2012 bike rides so well especially with the brembo brakes and the big piston forks.

Just post to say the best quote I have for a 750 would be the meager sum of 9000 British pounds....

Well it's got to be asked, how much is the insurance on the 600 then?.

£800 over a year!

Yeh I don't know how that works either.

I changed no details apart from 600 to 750.

Wowzer!!!

From £800>£9000 for 150cc difference. Crazy fools

Tell me about it.

Got a quote from my insurance co for the remainder of my insurance for the new 600. £188 from now to start of april.

the 'brembos' are still brembo moboblock calipers which you can buy for any bike off of the brembo website.

Edit:

HNNNNNNNG.

Pick her up on monday.

The suggestion of the triumph daytona was a good one and I really like them however the riding position just doesn't get on with me that well.

Overall I feel the gsxr is the best package for the way I ride.
