Well after 1 day of looking for one I decided against the SRAD (cheers G). Love the bike to bits can't get over the speed compared to what i'm used to! Cheers to danny for saving me nearly £300 on insurance!

The bike has done under 3,000 miles in 2 years, 99% standard, just the braided hoses that aren't (oh and the tarty indicators Smile

).

I paid £4400 which is reasonable and it certainly is worth it! I don't want to stop riding it but I fear the rain! I need to see what the pirellis are like in the wet!

Cool becasue i'm the same age, so i just needed some details...

Probably get a 600 next year. Good price on insurace, i think.

A really nice bike, enjoy it! Thumbs Up

I just need some money now, i think student loan + saving will ensure my cbr600F4i sport next year, or gixxer like yours, but the earlier one, SRAD... Cool

Nice bike mate. Yay for blue Gixxers! Very Happy

Oh and I would say that you done the right thing in staying clear of the SRAD Thumbs Up

I don't think the finish is very good at all. I was looking at one which was parked outside my work and the paintwork was in a terrible nick Confused

Down one side the paint was all creased and wrinkled, not good. It was also very faded and generally looked crap Confused

I have saw a few SRADs and I don't think I have been that impressed with the finish on any of them. If you could stretch to a K1 model, I would. Thumbs Up

Is that all you care about, the paint work, ya tart Wink

. Joke.

I was thinking more about the mechanics, brakes, handling, power.

I know the K1s are excellent, but i just wanted to find out how the older SRAD compared, riding wise...

True Blue · World Chat Champion Joined: 10 Feb 2003 Karma :

Well to be honest, I don't know too much about them mechanically wise. Though I haven't heard anything bad about them.

And yes, I am a tart Smile

Claud, if you want info on the SRAd you could do worse than check out www.gixxer.com , I don't know how impartial they will be though. Wink

Cool, thanks! i'll check it out.

Your bike looks very nice! Like the blue wheels. I'd love to have a K1, but it will cost too much. I need to save about 1.5 thousand through Uni, to get an SRAD...
