Jixerman Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I got news of a small inheritance coming my way the other night, and surprise surprise, the first thing that popped into my head was........... NEW BIKE! Now its not a mahoosive amount but its enough to do a few things that the missus and I have had planned for a whileI know, I know............but Im not gonna blow the whole lot on a bike cos I DO want to stay married Anyways Im looking at spending about £7k including the thou I want for my existing bike and I got three bikes in mind at the moGSXR1000K7GSXR750K8The new GSX1250FAAll suzuki's obviously Im not gonna buy any other make cos a) it'll mean changing my user name and I kinda like the one I got, and b) I LIKE ZUKERS!!.....steady Gary I plan to test ride all three and make my final decision when Im ready to part with some readies, and I is growed up enough to make my own decision (honest) But I wondered what the consensus on the forum might be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Teckkers is right, that is by far the best suzuki thou.. Honestly, if you have come into some money and can now afford to pretty much buy what you want, then do so!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I voted for the gixxer thou as I know what I'm buying when my 33bhp is up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 @ Mikey... You got a 600 to restrict it so when its up you can get a 1000... You may as well have just bought a 250 as if you arent going to use the 600 derestricted what was the point in buying it to restrict it in the first place!?!? I reckon you should get that new 1250 if im honest. It would be the one I choose just because as nice as im sure the K5 thou is I sat on the 1250 and it felt bloody nice and will mix good comfy position with sporty go like a right fecker can go go go.

Guest Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Ok, based purely on looks, I voted for the 750. I think the 1250 is hideous to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overt Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Gotta be the 750. Seriously. http://www.funkypancake.com/blog/stuff2/DSC09532-thumb.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted a Ninja, and the ZX-6 was cheaper than the 250, even on insurance strangely It great to ride, sounds great... and I will ride it once my restrictions up as I imagine its a totally different bike then.
