Very nice! Have been looking for one of these for a few weeks... they seem to sell REALLY quick, and are quite expensive to insure. Mind if i ask how much it set you back? Looks like a very clean example
I paid £3200, with tax to pay at the end of next month. Was from a dealer actually so has been serviced & MOT'd. Has 21,700 odd miles. It is a quite tidy example though the calipers need touching up with some fresh paint as do a few parts on the swing arm. There's a long scuff down the right side lower fairing (black plastic so like £50 to replace) and also a small crack in the fairing just by the clutch. On the whole though it'd nice and clean and I didn't want anything 'perfect' for my first bike as the inevitable will happen at some point so it'd only be more frustrating & upsetting!
I decided against one in the end, and on friday put a deposit on a K6 GSX-R600... such lovely bikes, will post pics up when i get it
Make sure you do!
It's a fantastic bike I had the chance to properly open it up today a few times and also am a bit more confident in my cornering & leaning to it's becoming more and more fun

Thats a brilliant price for one of those, i was finding them around 4-4.5k.
The GSX-R was a good find... 06 plate, totally clean, aftermarket scorpion can woth around £400, only 5k miles, few other bits... got it for £4150
I currently have a '99 ZX6R, and love the top end when you hit about 9-10k RPM the thing flies, i hear the 636cc ones have a bit better mid-range though, which i'd have liked!

Sounds like a bargain!
Yeah the mid range is good and once you're over 9k it just goes like stink. I used to let off around 8/9k due to lack of confidence now I'll take it right up to 15k, the beginning of the redline
I heard they stopped making them for the racing series as they were too fast?!Would love to have a good look over an R6/R1 at some point.

Lovely 636, miss mine
Boooooooo
Erm...was that you injured in the road?
Sadly
You can thank a guy in a people carrier for that one - illegal turn on a roudabout as I was in this blindspot Long story, and don't want to thread-jack; think there's a few of my posts around re. the accident though (and two more I had - at fault those times!)Had a bit of a clean of mine today, and a check over, ready for it's MOT tomorrow.
It will be the first time I've ridden it in about 6 months :O. Havn't had the chance to take it over to Germany with me, so has been in my garage in Liverpool, such a waste! Will be giving it a trashing this week though.
