Well I bought a new bike last night. Suzuki GSXR400R GK76a. Smile

https://www.proximacore.com/Transfer/gk76a.jpg

Bought it from Sash for Â£1700. Mechanically sound. Nice little bike and looked after well. 19,000Kms on the clock. 1990 model.

Still got to pick up a gasket for the scorpion exhaust as it was changed over the other day for it's MOT and needs a new one before it can be refitted.

Been out briefly on it today through town. Yet to take it out to some big strech of roads. But from what I've done on it so far it's a lot of fun. I'm assuming it's only going to get better when i get it out on the open roads.

Well i just thought I'd share this with you all.

P.S. I stole your avatar sash, hope you don't mind. Razz

How nice is that pic?!! *sobs quietly*

(Of I course don't mind you stealing it Prox, It was my fav one - taken by my own fair hands)

don't suppose you could make me a new one??!! as I'm useless at that kinda thing Embarassed

I didn't think you'd be able to resist taking it out without the scorpion on.. Razz

.. but believe me it makes a huge difference, I had no love for that standard can !

*still sobs, some one pass the tissues!

Was just about to ask if that was Sash's bike then i read the last 2 replies. Aah well, least you have the VFR400 to play on, what made you change? Was it seeing James's (jimmys) bikes?

Of course it was in good condition ! Laughing

(Bit embarrassed I delivered it a little on the dirty side Wink

but these things happen)

And on the topic of the standard can, to be honest, and perhaps I shouldnt be Rolling Eyes

I really didnt like the ride over with the standard can, it was a completely different bike, there was a distinct lack in power in all the places I was used to it - the carbs are set up for the race can ... and it sounds horrid Evil or Very Mad

I'll be going to Alvins during the week, pick up my new KBC helmet whoop!.. so if you need me to pick you up a gasket?!

120 !!! Don't be telling me stuff like that !! Shocked

You'll find she falls on her nose at corners very quickly, Stu was forever 'borrowing' it to run down the coast road.

Craig, my main reason for swapping to the VFR400, other than it being a bargin!.. was that its alot smaller in size than the gixxer and so its alot easier for me to move around on.. thank god for that as I hate to think what would've happened to me on friday when a lorry ran a set of lights *shudder*

ProX, Can you just take one of the decent (with fairings!) pics of the vfr frrom my site?! as you already seem adept at that..*hugs*

Yeh, and by the looks of it, its the same VFR i was going to take a look at. Least you have got a bike that your happy with before selling the GSXR.

Ah...take it I missed your post!!!

Well congrats on passing the test. How did it go?

I passed mine on the 18th March.

Bollocks passing then having no money to buy a big bike. Never mind, get one at the end of the month!!!

Oh, and watch your speed on the roads at the moment, I don't want to have to come down and help you find pieces of your bike!

Take it easy.
