Still undecided on the wheel tape, even if I keep it I will replace what's on there. It's a bit wobbly to say the least.


Big thanks to my mate Paul 'bully' for using his traders cover to ride it home for me, and reducing the chicken strips to 1/2 of what they were, glad you had fun mate Thumbs Up

Good luck mate. If it were a darker blue I would say keep the rim tape cos on dark blue Suzuki's, flourescent rim tape looks amazing. But yeah, get some lowers and it'll be beautiful!

Good buy, how much? Mileage, year etc?

Its a K6 (2006) and has 8400 miles and full service history, last done in April this year when it had its mot. The exhaust is quite loud, and a full stainless rather than just an end can and the previous owner appears to have lost the DB killer... Stubby Scorpion FTW Twisted Evil

How much? £3200, it was up for £3500 Cool

I'm very happy with it, Bull says its nice to ride, powerful front brakes and sounds gorgeous at full pelt, but not his thing, he prefers his 1200 bandit... I'm more excited about riding this then doing my test Very Happy

I like the noise of the stubby but will be looking into getting a replacement baffle for it...


Sendaman... Restricted? nooo I paid a little extra and did the DAS so its not been neutered, 73bhp feels awesome, and after driving a car of similar power I never thought I would say that....
