Lee_ Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 The UK launch is at dealerships tomorrow, anyone going down to have look and try and blag a test ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyE Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 A mate of mine has had his name down on one for a few weeks now, and has seen one (unoffically) at the local stealers. I think he is just confirming this weekend with a test ride and then signing on the dotted line. Personally, my 600 scares the poo out of me, so a thou would be wasted on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avus_Bub Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Have a go Dude, you'll love it!! You can shortshift all day and just ride it around on the torque. IMO it'll be easier to ride than your 600. TBH I think they've gone backwards with the styling, the twin pipes look poo...... From the NEC - I think the K6 will always be the definitive Gixer.

Lee_ Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I more of a fan of the K5 / K6 too, hopefully people will be trading their k5's in now and flood the market with nice cheap ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avus_Bub Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I think a fair few will be held onto though Lee. I've a mate who's looking for a new K6 but they are getting very thin on the ground now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I'm off to my dealer's (Sherwood Suzuki) for a gander and a cup of tea but can't ride it as the back and neck are still too sore after the accident a few weeks ago. Gutted. I only want to have a play with the engine mapping switch whilst riding along really! I couldn't buy one based on the looks alone. I think it is a real step backwards so far as the aesthetics go. How long before a single side exhaust is availabale for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_ Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Been and had a peak this morning, by the looks of it, there is an official yoshimura pipe already available. I think its a nice bike (the one in the local dealers is black) but the exhausts ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 The one at Sherwoods was black too and looked a lot better than the one at the show now they have made the exhaust pipework black so it blends in a bit more. Saw the twin racing Yoshi pipes too which look amazing. £1450 though!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avus_Bub Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Interesting to note the WSB has a Arrow twin system but when it spits flames on the overrun they only come out of the left can..................... BUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avus_Bub Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Looks like he's got a sticking caliper. I'd get that looked at if I was him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisky Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Jeans, shoes, what looks like a body armour vest and no jacket and giving it the finger... I'm so good at stoppies, I can do it one handed and give it the f*ck off for my mate on the camera. You are a riding god! I want to be like you. Sarcastic rant over, but what a tool!
