So I turned 30 earlier this month and at a birthday meal I was given a pretty amazing present and a massive surprise which was waiting for me outside - a 2011 K9 GSX-R600... the bike I've always been after since passing my test.

Looking to make a few tweaks here and there so will be looking for as much advice on this forum as possible and even the odd meet here and there if there's anyone in or around London, UK.

Well, here it is...

That's a nice bike man, I'm jelly. Also welcome to the forum Thumbs Up

I have a feeling you'd totally leave me behind on a bike like that if we were on a London ride out xD

Seriously I need more days off work, I still haven't gone to any of the rideouts in the SE forum Sad

No dont be silly - looking to gain experience riding rather than opening up the throttle all the time. Where abouts are you mate?

Everything, in all honesty.

It is still deemed as the best GSXR1000 since their initial one, its performance, weight, power... its still deemed the fastest Laughing

Thanks! I cant wait to get back to it!

I use to work in Ealing Broadway Laughing

Always wanted to go to Oxford but never made it up there, done Cambridge instead. Maybe I could return the visit for a ride out in Oxford one weekend Smile
