Went bike shopping today and sat on a few bikes the Gsxr 750 is the one that stuck in my mind the most looked lovely but a bit steep on insurance (gutted). Thought i would be ok with my little Nsr 125 for a few months but its doing my nut in now i know i can have something bigger and better.

What to do what to do!
