If you want to get a Gixer thou based upon the looks of the new one, then yes, you are kinda mad...but if you just generally want to get a Gixer thou, then I don't any problem with that Very Happy

You can probably pick up new K1 and K2 models for less than most new sports 600s.

I don't think people go and buy such a bike just for the looks. There are pleanty of good looking bikes that maybe arn't as suicidle (sp?).
Although if you're sensible i guess there isn't a major problem.

oh... and to answer your question, no, you are perfectly sane.

Any normal person wants a GSXR1000... it's everybody else that's insane Smile

Nah, that wasn't the point that I was trying to make...It was just that Kevo specified the 2003 (i.e. NEW) model, which of course looks different, but performance (to the average rider) is about the same as the older models. He could save a heck of a lot of money by snapping up the previous model...having said that, I can't see too many people rushing out to get a Gixer thou, given the insurance factor...

very nice bike, id go for it.

Ps there are *many* better looking bikes than a Gixer 1000 out there, the new R1 for example!

If you do get it youve got to let me have a go Smile

Yeah Riossi is crap, I went to the one in Farnborough this afternoon.

"Me would like to buy Gixxer 1000".

"That will be blah plus blah extra interest, plus blah and blah oh and blah"

"No I want to pay cash, i'll give you xxxx right now, shows wad."

"Blank look from sales guy!".

I think i'll bag a test ride from someplace half decent first and see what I think after that.

Regards,
Kevo.

Ok thanks, i'll have a think on what I want to do. I just tried to offer the chap in Farnborough a cash discount to see if they would bite. I guess I was discounting too much! Smile

Any pics of the blade yet Kev?.

Regards,
Kevo.

Alas, the old "money talks" ethos no longer exists...dealers can make more money from finance deals, and hence would rather have the extra paper work.

Oh well, I'm sure that you'll get there Wink

stange, most places are interested in having the cash right then as well. if they realise that you actually want to give them it there and then, then most places would wake up at that point.

sadly not in riossis case

kevo, you taken one for a test ride?

If you can definately afford to insure a brand new GSXR1000 then go for it. I know a lot of even old guys with no claims etc have trouble finding a decent quote on the gixxer thou
