600 this time though. The engine is amazing, fuelled perfectly although all i have to really compare it to is an RS125 and several CBR125s.

Only one phone pic for now. p**sed it down with rain all the way home so will sort out some more pics tomorrow.

Plans so far are tailtidy (obviously!!), Spazzo levers, taller screen and maybe some rim tape and braided lines. Cant wait until its ran in properly, feels so tight only having done 40 miles.

Nice looking yes, but for the price of the bike you can get a better looking GSXR750 k7/GSXR1000 k6 and insure it Sad

Nice to see someone buying a new bike though Thumbs Up Overtaken by 62 plate Ducati fag wagon cruiser today

Could of bought more for less yeah, by buying new is a massive draw for me. Just the peace of mind knowing I'm the first owner so know every inch of its history means a lot, quite a paranoid person really.

The riding position is perfect straight out of the box, just needed to adjust the lever positions and now the bike fits me perfectly.

Would highly recommend anyone to get a test ride.

Look much better than the stock levers. Went for the shorty ones but kind of wish i went for a long clutch lever and shorty brake.

To be honest I think 7 grand is a very fair price to pay for a new 600!

Very nice Thumbs Up

Why not red adjusters to match the fork adjusters? Laughing

Got the suspenders set up properly at FTR Suspension today. They basically reset the static sag and dialled in the settings applicable for my weight and style of riding. I found the bike had way too much rebound and was a bastard to ride over anything not perfectly smooth so had all the correct settings dialled in and now the bike is a dream to ride and so much more comfortable.

Not bad for £40.

Can just about make out the new Puig DB screen. Wind blast now goes over my head rather than straight at my chin.

Fucking ace! Personally I don't think £7k is that much for a new bike either, for me the insurance is a killer on newer bikes so that puts me off!

With 2 years no claims, 1 non settled claim, 27 years old my insurers wanted an extra £172 to put the new CBR on my policy until end of April so really it's only about £290 per year tpf&t for me. Fully comp was going to sting me £880 extra per year!
