What bike should I get?

Why not get something cheap now and hang about for the 2007 ones?

I would expect there to be at least a new GSX-R and R1...

It still has the fastest standing 1/4

 

Alright it's not brand new but by jingo it's a sports bike:

While you've got money buy something worth having.

One of these may be a bit cheaper and very robust:

Looks nice in green - the frame should be black:

IME 70s Italian sports bikes go more or less as fast as the modern stuff
when out and about on normal roads. Admittedly it needs a little more
work to achieve those speeds.

What you loose on higher parts costs and more frequent maintenance you
gain on no depreciation and having a pretty fucking cool bike.

Now that's interesting. When the dealer came to collect my GSXR we
had a conversation about what I was planning on buying. I said I'd
probably go for another GSXR K1/2/3 as the newer ones were a bit small
and he suggested an R1 of 02/03/04 vintage.

 

Wot 'e said.

Pound to a penny it's what you'll buy.

Yebbut that is blue the light innit and not blue the colour. It is blue
the colour what causes the problem by having to expend more energy to
accelerate the light and that energy has to come from somewhere and it
comes straight off your total available horses.

 

My hire Suzuki GS500 is blue and it's fucking slow.

My Bloo GS500 is blue and it too is fucking slow. Mind you I have got
it countered a bit with some rather fetching reddish coloured fasteners
so it is prolly faster than yours.

 

Aren't you buying a house?

 

I think he wants to do miles two, or even three though.

Probably based on that bloke riding round the world 20 days on one. They
still look fucking uncomfortable to me though.

I've bought one, and will happen to have a couple of quid left over[1]
on the mortgage.

That's what I thought as I scrolled down.

I expect Suzuki have given them a large bung to give it a glowing write
up.

I heard that through the grapevine but I forget who told me.
