Thought id put a few pics up of my new purchase. Ive been looking for a nice low mileage one for a few weeks now and this one turned up with only 1600 miles on it. I was considering an imported R6, but decided to go for this instead.











Im just deciding whether or not to do a few bits to it or leave it totally standard. It needs a good bufty session after the 100 mile trip back home. Cant wait to get out on it now though!

Gorgeous. This is my fave shape Gixxer. Like the k6, but not as much as this. I LOVE this model in yellow.

It wil be very hard when i chose my next bike, as there are quite a few round the 54/55 plate era then i like....

You done the training yet? If not youll be ITCHING to get out on that

S1rst

No mate not done the training yet but the dates are set for the end of the month. I passed my theory test on friday and ive got my cbt on next sat. Its gonna be hard just looking at it for a few weeks until i pass!

mrjenrst, yes mate i think i need to get an undertray as i hate that big plastic lump thats on there now!

Ive been looking at undertrays earlier actually but there seems to be loads available. I assume some are better than others?

Cheers,

Lee Reynolds

aye...i failed first time i put my foot down on u turn....i was gutted. It was made worse by the bike being sat there. . . luckily i got a cancellation about a fortnight later

mrjenrst

Excellent choice mate, you'll have a lot of fun on that

IMO "Compulsary" mods HAVE to be:
can, bikes need to sound proper
mushrooms are a DEFINITE, especially on first bike!
double bubble, helps with air flow
undertray to lose silly modern plate holders
rear hugger to keep crap out of the rear shock.

lastly personally i like wee indicators.

Good luck with the test mate.

someone mention a can

S1rst

Lambchop, cheers mate. Yes the list you mention above is about what i have planned for it. I assume the mushrooms are the crash bobbin things to protect the fairings if dropped?

mrjenrst, i love the new gixers mate. Good choice.

after talking to the missus we (she) has decided on a new kitchen

so it'll be a few month's yet they wanted Ł600 insurance ffs
got my renawal up in august so that should help

you need a can on it though s1, got a full race system on mine
(road legal officer ) and it makes the bike and not as loud as you would think well under 6000rpm anyway
