 Posted: 17:25 - 04 May 2006 Post subject: Choosing Andy C his next bike |
 |
|
well my poor SV650s was masicured on 2nd april as we all probably remember by.......me. im still recovering but nows the time to decide my next bike and start looking for it.
i think i have £2k most at a push and the last £400-500 will be a loan and i will need to upgrade my insurance which will also be a loan. As soon as i get back on though i can start paying this off £50-90 a week from my job that i luckily still have
Now at first i thought a early thundercat was what i wanted next but soon went back to the bike i almost went for before which was a J model zx6r, now i love the look/sound of these bikes and sure they ride great but insurance for 17 year old is steep which is what put me off last time.
now due to the crash im am going to have to spend a 3rd year at college which was not what i wanted to do as wanted to go off to uni but since this has happened im thinking of treating myself to nice bike to get me though the extra year at college.
my insurance for SV last till december so shouldnt be that much to upgrade for zx6r till then (will ring next few days) and start saving for next years after paying the loan back
so my question is does this sound sensible? any other bikes i should be thinking about that im not? ____________________ 99 RS125 --> 02 SV650s --> 03 Speed Four --> 92 RXS100 --> 93 CB400sf --> 01 CB600f Hornet |

My mate is currently obsessed with getting a zx6r 2001 model (sorry dont know all this J G H crap)
He has ridden a few bikes before settling on the zx6r he said it feels lighter and a bit quicker than even a k4 GSXR but me tinks he is just biased
Dodsi is a guy you wanna talk too about zed ex's.
I also say go for it!  ____________________ ◙◙► K6 GSXR 600 ◄◙◙◙◙► K5 GSXR 1000 ◄◙◙◙◙► K5 GSXR 600 ◄◙◙◙◙► 96 RF600r ◄◙◙

Early Daytona 600/650 can be picked up quite cheap for about 2K, fuel injection IL4 and great handeling.

another SV ? , tho personally I'd buy that RC45 I saw for sale for 2.3K was unbelievably low mileage tho apparently had been sitting under a sheet in a garage for a very long time. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

Got a ZX-6R meself and they're very nice Mine's the newer one with the underseat exhaust jobbie so I'm not too sure how the old one would be similar to it. For doing distance its not as bad as I thought'd it be. Can easily do 300 miles in a day (as did Monday) and can still be fairly comfortable at the end of it. Fuel consumption is pretty shitty on the downside and the ride position can get slightly uncomfy after a while.
RS250's are good for handling and I would'nt mind getting one of them if I had £2000ish to play with. |
