Just got an insurance quote...

[Silver]

...on a brand new GSXR1000 K5.

£750, Fully Comp.

Soooo tempted

[White Noise]

do it!
Have you got the space in the garage?
at least what they take in NI you can get back in the saving on insurance!

Gorgeous bike there Silver!

Don't really like the look of the exhaust personally, but the rest is gorgeous and you can always whack a performance one on.

£750?

Blimey, that sounds cheap!

Out of interest, is it organised through the manafacturer?

[mrchips]

How can people justify paying £9000 on a bike unless you're going to be using it every day? You see these power rangers with 05 gixxer thous who probably only take them out May-September.

I think we can assume that Silver will be using it more than the average show off.

Mate, do it

Fantastic bikes by all accounts. If I was looking for a 1k bike now then it would definately be the Gixxer. And keep the standard can - looks much better than the Yoshi.

[jay12329]

The plain balck k51000 looks ace, would consider the 600 if they did it in that design.
