So I'm pretending I have about £5-6k to spend on a bike and want to get the best 1000cc sportbike you can get with that dollaaa

So I know the gsxr 1000 k6 is meant to be life changing, but i love the look of the r1 with the bug eyes and under seat exhaust <3

What is your opinion on the best sub 6k 1000cc sportbike?


+10 points if it's post 07' so it's ULEZ compliant

For just a few hundred more, you can get a later GSXR. Personally, I cannot feel the difference between my L0 and the K6 I used for bare time.

Not much money tbf and I'd only get the K5/6 if it was spanking and super low miles. Normal people will never see the actual miniscule differences. Yes, it may have been the best, but the rider makes the bike, not the other way round.

IMO, the white one gets my pickle sticky, hence me buying a white one. That one is 5500, sub 10k, newer than 07, best colour, already has exhaust changed, winner.

And there's me thinking we were the GSXR faggots. Did France mean nothing to you? Laughing

Excellent choice sir. I'm sure you'll agree that the L2-L6 is infinitely better than the K9-L1 model. Wink
