new bike :)

[salty21]

been and fetched the SP-1's replacement today. Train ride up to newcastle and a whole day riding it back, was an awesome day .

kawasaki zx6r p8f, 3000 miles on it, as new condition £3750.

This is my first non honda bike so was a bit dubious as to weather i'd like it or not but so far i love it. doesnt feel as solid and well put together as a honda but it makes up for it in grin factor. extremely revvy motor with an awesome howl from under the tank, i nearly jizzed. The sp1 sounded nice but im definately more of a screamer kinda guy.
anyway, heres a few pics.

Not a type of bike I'd ever own but it is sex on wheels.

Shweeet!!! I just gave back a ER-6n, which is very similar to the ZX6, to a friend who loaned it to me while I modded my KLR, and i had hell of a time on it.

Very nice looking ZX-6 there, 2 words for you, Venture Shield to keep the stone chips off. Im just getting used to a screaming engine myself and loveing every mile of it after the twin.

at the above, thats like me saying my old SV is very similar to a GSXR 600, they are really very, very different bikes...

[Fifteen15]

Absolutely stunning! Love it.

lovely bike,
its crazy how cheap these are going for at the moment with super low miles as well. that's why im bewildered when people want the same amount for an r6 that's 2 to 3 years older

i need to make the brakes worse, this is ridiculous
I am literally scared of touching the front brake, if i even brush the lever with my finger it's like someones thrown a scaffold pole through the front wheel, theres no need for brakes to be this sharp
need some crap pads i think.

I don't know whether it's good price for what you got, as I'm totally clueless about the market atm. Looks the bizz though

Ride safe
And get that tag!

Vair naice. Wouldn't want to carry or be a pillion on it though. Looks very uncomfortable in that respect.

I would love to have a bike like this, want to swap for a 98 CB600 hornet

Dam insurence holds me back tho only been biking on a full license for a matter of months

Probably end up on the floor tho getting a superbike so soon so maybe I should wait

[salty21]

[NinaMarie]

Beast!! Nice bike
Wouldn't like to be pillion though, looks painful!

Definately a sexy looking thing

[salty21]

just realised 2nd hand aftermarket exhausts are like gold dust and new ones are very pricey, sounds like a sewing machine at the minute.
Also no option of a decat pipe either as it's built into the headers so would need a full system or somebody handy with welding stainless tube so i could cut it out *cough* CHR15* .
