As some of you may know I was off to DK Motorcycles today (was gonna meet a few of you there but I didnt see anyone Sad )

Well I had a wander round and found a lovely red M Reg Suzuki GSX600F for £2499 with 18k on the clock!

[edit]With quite alot of you saying it seemed over priced and suggesting newer and better bikes for the same money, I have decided to reconsider getting this bike now!
And tbh I don't care if I loose the £100 deposit on the bike, I just wanna get the best bike for my money as you can see by the poll theres 2 opitions, obviosly you can chip in and suggest something else. [/edit]


I really can't wait now to get it!!!!!!

Tell me what you think, have a I made a good decision?

We were there!

I was probably sat on the VN2000 when you came out of the sales office. Well, that or the Mille on the end of the row anyway. Never mind.

I am buying it from DK Motorcycles though, Its really in good condition and its done bugger all in mileage considering what the GSX can do.

Plus I really wanted a newer bike cos the GS wasn't much fun bouncing along the M6 at 85+

We did see you there but you wandered into the sales office and were never to be seen again, surely you noticed the long haired hippy wearing a black t-shirt with the BCF logo on. (Mcjamweasel)

You also walked right past me and Jay outside when you were going back inside after showing the salesman your bike, you looked busy so we didn't stop you.

Yeah I think so, I remember one of you leaning over the bike saying what good condition it was in, if that was you that is.

Pity I missed you, I seemed to be sat in the sales office for an eternity sorting the finance out!

That would be when I was looking at the S-RADS. We waited ages for you to come back out of the office but you must of come out as we were admiring a bike or something. Surprised you didn't notice Shaun's bike outside, it wasn't far from yours where it was parked. Nice bike anyway mate, enjoy. Thumbs Up

[edit] Shaun's bike is shiny and yellow like a Fireblade (but not a Fireblade - D'oh!)

I was there too, I kept nagging the others that we should find you and say hello but they were all being a bunch of typical men!

Laughing
