Need some opinions: GSX-R 600 K5

Just been to pick my bike up from the local garage having had a shiny
new rear tyre fitted. Gleaming in the corner of the showroom is a poor,
unwanted (as yet), 05 pre-reg 600 GSX-R K5 "Anniversary Edition" with a
5999 price tag on it.

Soooo....

what do peeps think of the K5. Any good? And is the price tag sensible?


Tanks in advance.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Chris belched forth and ejected the following:

£5,500 and that's cutting me own froat.

I could buy a GSX-R1000 K4 tomorrow for that money. It hasn't been pre-
regd either so would come to me on an 06 plate.

It's not that good a deal.

 

It's 400cc too small.

You might not need a new bike, but you surely require a working sig
separator if you're going to tag shit on to the ends of your posts.

 

Erm...not when there was no sig. 'Twas a one-off.

But just to please you:

Thanks for the opinions, guys. You've talked me out of it.

My bank manager will be forever grateful

And for Pip:

Appending your name to the end of a post is a signature where I come
from.

Fool.

 

it's a boy's bike.

 

Glad to see the humour wasn't lost on you.

In order to save a long, somewhat dull discussion about the ins and outs
of sigs on usenet I shall voluntarily concede the point and also play
the Godwin Gambit by declaring you to be a sig Nazi, thereby rendering
this thread closed.

Once again thanks to all for the comments.
