I need a bike D:

[McGee]

Its been a few weeks now and I really do miss riding.

I will be back in the UK sometime after summer, so I want to get a cheap bike for shits and giggles till then.

So far my choices are:

97-99 GSXR SRAD 750 or newer.

The one srad I'm thinking on:

or an older r1 or an older blade.


So what reckon you ?

Early R1, they do look lovely.

My SRAD was made of cheese - my current 1991 FZR is built better than it was, and I reckon you would be disappointed in it after riding the newer bikes - I remember getting on a K2600 and thinking that it was sooooo much better.

A 954 blade would be good, but I don't think they would really suit you, if you see what I mean.

step out of ya comfort zone Mcgoo and go for something other than a suzuki.

They say it's the spice of life and all

Get a 929 Blade, they're getting cheap, will at least stay with a 98 R1 (it's true I tells ya!) and will kick the arse of that fugly Gixxer. If the budget won't stretch to that, get the R1 as the earlier Blades are very good but not as quick.

Cheers

[jack_zxr400]

[Eddie Hitler]

The 750 looks sweet.

[Mac_Black]

918 Blade '96 or '97 for the best colours

See a few about in Worcester in good nick though...
I think you should buy it becuase you're a whore, and you live in America, that tells me two things;
A) You'll look after the bike
B) You can't drop it becuase you have no corners

As extra incentive I'll track you down and buy it off you for stupid money the moment you hit our coast

[Bikeless]

Get an early Blade,IIRC the American colour schemes were pretty nice.

[Kal]

Get a mans Bike: '92 or '93 'Blade
